interStella / Quad 2 pt1

2019

About the Item

interStella / Quad 2 pt1 is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper. The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch. Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 48 prints, plus 4 APs Image size ⋅ 48cm H x 48cm W Sheet size ⋅ 64cm H x 64cm W . I’ve been working on a new series of 16 drawings, entitled interStella. It’s kind of a mash up of a number of geometries I’ve been studying, but most obviously it’s an exploration, and complication, of the maths underlying the early works of American legend Frank Stella. I first saw his beautiful, epic, artworks at MOCA in LA in 1991, and was completely blown away. So it’s been on my mind for a long time to try and unpack some of his thinking, and riff on that beautiful style that came out of NYC in the late sixties... I hope I’ve bought a little fresh thinking and technique to bear too. I’ll leave you to be the judge of that. The digital toolset, as ever, allows you to add layers of complexity, and fine tuning, that perhaps wasn’t previously possible. As ever I find it easiest to discern in music. I’ve been listening to a lot of Laurel Canyon stuff, and later seventies Stateside sounds, but however fabulous they may be, in many ways they can’t compete with the cut and shut digital styling of recordings from the past few years. My youngest son has been playlisting a lot of fabulous new music, that I may well not have stumbled across myself, and much of it has the most amazing production. Chelsea Cutler’s Your Shirt is a particularly good example. Fascinated by her post-analogue production, I had a look on the boards, and found this brilliant explanation of what’s going on: ‘I hear this sound effect in a few different songs but it’s really apparent in “Your Shirt”. I’m talking about that synthy voice thing that’s in the beginning as a lower part and higher part playing back and forth that pops up throughout the song. Step 1: scream into a mic whilst recording Step 2: sample audio Step 3: slap some space designer and maybe eq it if you screamed too loud’ I love the idea of screaming too loud into the mic and then eq-ing the result. I feel that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for a number of years! Go way over the top, and then dial it back in, to discover a place that’s still further out than you would’ve been able to reach if you’d come in from the other direction... not sure if that makes any sense, but it does to me! . interStella is a series of four quads, each quad comprises four drawings, so sixteen studies in all, including: Quad 1 pt1, Quad 1 pt2, Quad 1 pt3, Quad 2 pt1, Quad 3 pt4 and Quad 4 pt2. . If you'd like to view all sixteen studies, please do email me.

Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 48 prints, plus 4 APs Image size ⋅ 50.8cm H x 66cm W Sheet size ⋅ 65cm H x 80cm W . Le Klint Studio is an inspiration to anyone who loves paper folding, contemporary design, and light. So, of course, I couldn’t resist making a series of origami like geometries for a new set of works on paper in 2015. Le Klint Studio, to my mind, are particularly well known for their folded paper pendant shades, contemporary designs which are as beautiful as they are ubiquitous. The image I made is not an identikit line work, more an homage based around some of the origami like folds they use, with the addition of colour glazes and offset transparencies. I've also added a grid like structure of darkly shaded lines and accents, that brings the geometry to life. The first piece I drew, ACDH (acid house...

Dazzle / 12 bar crop

Dazzle / 12 bar crop is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper. The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch. Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 48 prints, plus 4 APs Image size ⋅ 60cm H x 48.6cm W Sheet size ⋅ 72.8cm H x 60.6cm W . The Dazzle piece I drew for my 2017 show Current at Catto was 200cm wide, but the drawing seemed to offer an opportunity to generate a smaller work on paper as well. So after a little further experimentation, I cropped the study down to the 12 vertical bars that form the central core of the composition, and tried it out at various sizes on the Hahnemühle paper, settling in the end for this pigment print edition at 60cm high. I like the idea of the 12 bar crop, with its strong musical connotations. Dazzle is another work that uses my SV (systematic variation) technique to modulate the line drawing in ways that make it denser, more complex, and less overtly machine generated. I hope it takes on some of the life you’d find in a classic Missoni fabric, as well as drawing inspiration from the amazing ‘camouflaged’ vessels that became known as dazzle ships...
