One year on
Dear Blog,
It's been a year since my last post and I feel it's time to mention something....
I've started a research degree and this has pre-occupied a lot of my thinking time plus getting used to being in a new mode of 'being' on a day to day basis.
My hosepipe film was published in Sequence Issue 2 and I'm continuing with experiments, finding new and improved pipes to use!
Theoretical preoccupations have been around notions of time and duration and how the filmstrip can communicate this, outside of the cinematic apparatus.
I'm not sure what else to share at the moment, apart from this image, some new ideas i'm playing with. A print of 7 secs of film, a series I'm working on of prints from my super 8 colour reversal film loops of the Martello Towers at Dymchurch. Developed as a black and white negative image. Seven secs of film time frozen in one frame.

The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist
A serendipitous moment, considering it being the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day tomorrow, when a page in a book on my desk was open at the Guerrilla Girls poster work;
'The Advantages of Being a Woman Artist:
Working without the pressure of success.
Not having to be in shows with men.
Having an escape from the art world in your 4 free-lance jobs.
Knowing your career might pick up after you're eighty.
Being reassured that whatever kind of art you make it will be labeled feminine.
Not being stuck in a tenured teaching position.
Seeing your ideas live on in the work of others.
Having the opportunity to choose between career and motherhood.
Not having to choke on those big cigars or paint in Italian suits.
Having more time to work when your mate dumps you for someone younger.
Being included in revised versions of art history.
Not having to undergo the embarrassment of being called a genius.
Getting your picture in the art magazines wearing a gorilla suit.
A public service message from GUERRILLA GIRLS conscience of the Art World. 1988'
(Uta Grosenick, (Ed) 2003, Women Artists in the 20th and 21st Century, Taschen, GmbH, p.73)

New Website
Kodachrome Angel
My last roll of developed and telecined kodachrome arrived back last week. The footage is a mixture of short clips from 3 years ago. Here's an angel for valentines day. (this was shot at dusk so I'm assuming this has something to do with the purple tint)
Trees
Trees are my new fascination. At the moment whilst they are bare, their skeleton form, scale and presence slighly mesmerising. But not as truly amazing as this work by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

Scans of Pinhole Super 8
I've scanned and rather crudely stitched together in photoshop a length of super 8 which was exposed in my garden hose pinhole camera. It's difficult to recognise an image here apart from the blow up I've posted which is an imprint of the inside of the hose.
