I was doing some preparatory work for some personal design I was doing for my business when I created these images. I was using the negative spaces as a positive in the work I was doing, whereas here I like the missing elements. continue reading…
Found Photos – The Lost Passport Photo Gallery.
More found photographs.
I collect slides, film negative strips, and old photos found on sidewalks, in trash cans and at thrift shops, second hand stores, and online auctions. These pages contain thousands of images of amateur photos taken by ordinary Americans from the 1940s through the 1970s, and include snapshots taken on Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Anscochrome, and many other formats.
This is exactly what I’m looking for Dearest Forever but UKcentric. Haven’t a thing yet.
Since I was at college I’ve been secretly obsessed with boxes and keys. Boxes with locks or hidden doors in items of furniture. I’m not sure why. I do remember being upset when I went back to my art school to see some friend’s artwork and discovered that the emergency fire key in the glass covered box had been removed. Maybe that was the beginning of it all.
I’ve got an idea for an offline based on-going art piece about interpersonal connections in non digital media. continue reading…
I don’t know if it’s feasible or if it’ll pan out at all but it’s a fairly quick set-up but the pay off won’t happen for a few years if at all.
In my head I can see a tiny Scalextric track, a short circular loop, with two cars racing on it, I haven’t thought about that yet.
There’s a single crossover section on it and the cars are given ever so slightly varying power supplies but are kept roughly the same speed.
There is no finish line. continue reading…
Do you ever just sit back in your chair and think to yourself “What am I doing? How did I get to the point in my life that circumstances led me to doing this precise thing at this time?”. continue reading…
I’ve just had one of those moments.
Katie Paterson is a conceptual artist who recorded the melting of three glaciers, collected meltwater from the glaciers, pressed three records from it and then played it until it melted. You can hear it here.
I think it’s quite magical. You might not agree.
She also translated the score of Moonlight Sonata into morse code, bounced that off the surface of the moon and played the resulting score back on a klavier. Sadly this doesn’t seem to be online anywhere. I’ve emailed her for a recording of it but I’m not sure if I’ll get a response or not.

hi pete,
thanks for your nice message, but sorry no, it’s not online…
it’s been sold to collectors as a limited edition, so legally can’t be given out to anyone else…however my book ‘earth-moon-earth’ is on sale for £10 with cornerhouse, and it has a cd of the morse code recording which might be interesting
also, the piano will probably be exhibited soon so maybe you can see it!
best wishes,
katie
