Along each of these axes, we were asked to walk for 10 minutes and 20 minutes respectively and to take a photograph at each of these points. It was then possible to connect up all four of the 10 minute points and also the 20 points.</p><p>My walking web, and the photos taken after walking for 10 minutes and 20 minutes can be seen here:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The concept behind the work was not to create a piece of work that has a fully resolved, fixed state that will not change or transform anymore. On the contrary, the idea behind this work was to allow further changes and transformations to occur as and when the need arises, and for slightly different configurations to be attempted according to the space and environment. It is therefore expected that this particular work will gradually evolve and change over time.</p><p>The exhibition opened on 23 February and will continue until 22 March 2024. Visiting times at the APS Gallery are on Fridays, 11am-3pm.

Before the performance itself began, there was a brief session of preparation which seemed to be aimed at encouraging relaxation and preparedness in the performers.</p><p>The performance began by introducing each performer's method of relaxing, a particular pose or stance that is adopted whenever the individual is resting or deep in thought. Each pose was introduced verbally as all the performers sat in a line at one end of the performance space and collectively adopted and experienced each of the poses in turn one by one. Once this had been completed, the performers rose and moved to previously marked locations within the performance space. Now, two or more performers joined together, partnering to remake those poses, sharing them so that a particular pose now was adopted by the input of two or three performers instead of one, the way that was demonstrated at the beginning. </p><p>After a while, some participants moved away to join together with others to share and participate in their poses too. This sometimes left poses half completed so that the audience could compare the two states of being. Once several combinations had been tried out, many of the performers moved out to draw the audience into the performance. A lady sat next to me and shared her pose with me: a way of relaxing that she inherited from her mother. She placed her elbow onto her thigh, with her other hand wrapped around the elbow for support and rested her face onto her palm. Then she suggested that we could attempt to share the pose. She placed her elbow on my thigh while my hand supported it. I then rested my face in her palm. She asked me if it was comfortable and it was.</p><p>During the entire performance, besides the initial verbal descriptions of the poses, rhythmic music seemed to link all the sections of movements together, including the pauses, it acted like a pulse or heartbeat. </p><p>I enjoyed this performance and it physically worked well, flowing comfortably and logically. Some parts made me think of the work of Tino Seghal, as his work is also about making connections, team work, sharing...</p><p>This was a great event organised by Motus Mori, Yorkshire Dance and Leeds Art Gallery and formed part of the Leeds 2023 Year of Culture. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSnLDN6TZH5sRR1eIAATvoIVUK1PX5V07xpgH74bFNYc0phS6rmUshaxpxcay7dNbfHcEHvcPna7L-ufrzv9YgdkLtzUqgNa2kNygowHW-fkliapu_2wGS_ExzuEXJHimcyiDHrNFgs91fd2U41S6mRxAmXFcrK2ztvKEdbp8Z0bPz_QcuXs5GuhiiXBtT/s3712/IMG_4406.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="2576" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSnLDN6TZH5sRR1eIAATvoIVUK1PX5V07xpgH74bFNYc0phS6rmUshaxpxcay7dNbfHcEHvcPna7L-ufrzv9YgdkLtzUqgNa2kNygowHW-fkliapu_2wGS_ExzuEXJHimcyiDHrNFgs91fd2U41S6mRxAmXFcrK2ztvKEdbp8Z0bPz_QcuXs5GuhiiXBtT/w278-h400/IMG_4406.jpeg" width="278" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Patrick S.

After crossing Princes Street, the walk continued on Redwell Street and turned left down Queen Street, eventually emerging on Tombland. </p><p>On the other side of Tombland, the walk continued down to the entrance to the grounds of Norwich Cathedral, along the main facade and then left down The Close. The Close eventually merged into Ferry Lane which led to Pull's Ferry, once again on the River Wensum. It was here that the performance ended. </p><p>What was not recorded was the aggressive approach of a swan that was seen in the closing seconds of the recorded version of the walk.

text-align: left;">Having missed the opening private view (unfortunately arranged mid-week) it was a couple of weeks later when I finally got to Hull to see the show. As is often the case with these 'open call' large group exhibitions, an effort has been made to include as many works as possible and so the individual pieces are often placed in close proximity to each other, more so than would be the case in smaller shows. This throws up issues that affect the interpretation of the work, I find. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When colours are experienced in juxtaposition with other colours, their qualities are altered and we 'read' them differently. Albers discussed this 'simultaneous contrast' effect to great lengths in his tremendous book 'Interaction of colour'. Something of a similar vein happens when works are shown together and the more works that are shown, and the closer these works are placed to each other, then the more pronounced the effects are noticed. The way we start to read each piece is affected by the other pieces around it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I would like to present some installation shots I took when visiting the exhibition, and allow you to consider how the piece appears here compared to how it appeared when on show in Wakefield Cathedral.

I have been aiming to write a short piece about the show but one thing led to another and one project after another drew my attention until now when, sadly, the exhibition is no longer running. Nevertheless, I felt that her work deserved a few words.</p><p>Sheila Hicks (b.1934) has devoted her life to the study of textile and fibre, travelling from the US, throughout Latin America, Morocco, the Middle East, India, Japan and France where she now lives, still working. Everywhere she has travelled, she has learned from and collaborated with the artists and craftspeople she has met along the way.</p><p>She studied at Yale University while Josef Albers taught there and was influenced by the ideas of George Kubler, who published <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shape_of_Time" target="_blank">The Shape of Time</a></i> a few years later. </p><p>Later, Sheila Hicks began to incorporate found objects into her sculptural work on a large scale, frequently working with local communities, reflecting the shared collaborative experiences she had gained years before.</p><p>This exhibition presents a clear introduction to her work, starting with simple notes, tests and experiments to demonstrate her thinking process and the exhibition goes on to show her innovative approach to materials.</p><p>It is obviously too late to see this show now but I would recommend looking out for future opportunities to experience her work in person, no reproductions could adequately reproduce the scale and the physical impact the work makes, however I now present a few photos I quickly took in the short time I had at the Hepworth before I had to leave to catch my train. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Last year, participants were invited to send photographs that had been taken during congress events or during the journey to and from those events. Following last year's experience of translating the submitted photographs into drawings prior to their integration into the combined map, it was decided that participants would be invited to send hand-drawn maps that had been created in relation to some of the events occurring during the summer. In this way, it was hoped that more of the participants work and direct input could be transmitted into the final map and would, therefore, be more of a collaboration.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzJkj6YkM0ofP6tNT8OGszU_M7_C36rUAT73cDu5UgHV-OijfC0Xu2k2rzgj_91Ec55Sw35BZKVy8xbH_R3H7xEGxBb6VSgjxxx74ZmW8yW7A6EN7pVH9WS6YfoFaI_bW5uhuGzuiaff1pxmmlroO-aNTsGhkfwUle5MmU7ubJo-a8FCwaAHrecazxdg/s1362/Screenshot%202022-09-06%20at%2014.01.26.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1194" data-original-width="1362" height="351" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzJkj6YkM0ofP6tNT8OGszU_M7_C36rUAT73cDu5UgHV-OijfC0Xu2k2rzgj_91Ec55Sw35BZKVy8xbH_R3H7xEGxBb6VSgjxxx74ZmW8yW7A6EN7pVH9WS6YfoFaI_bW5uhuGzuiaff1pxmmlroO-aNTsGhkfwUle5MmU7ubJo-a8FCwaAHrecazxdg/w400-h351/Screenshot%202022-09-06%20at%2014.01.26.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Contingent Cartography: Project description</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">The three submitted maps (ranging from abstract, to detailed, and to painterly) were deconstructed into component parts so that they could be more easily integrated with each other using ai. The final work combined all three images and was influenced in its nature by those same constituent maps. Unlike last year, which had been a logical and quite linear set of instructions (albeit instructions to walk within a non-existent, virtual environment), this year's final map was much more abstract, with no discernible start and finish. Anyone using this map could choose their own starting point, and destination and could interpret the directions in whatever way they felt the most interesting. </span></div><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpd7KDL1Ia_C_xG2RmBsCeEJqz9m0U5vwyf4dQ_oHOO0aredgyBkTDRytvLMFn48_NtHvmI6UdB--1fiqh3cm2eU8R_r468aVPKCx1K40VTe21F_kAwfKrP2RlxL7_tVhVI0tyr8jfeLW7Qn-etgq39k8hat8_m-P1Co-eqiuV6F5e4rIAiP-rEObeg/s2676/Screenshot%202022-09-06%20at%2014.04.59.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1896" data-original-width="2676" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpd7KDL1Ia_C_xG2RmBsCeEJqz9m0U5vwyf4dQ_oHOO0aredgyBkTDRytvLMFn48_NtHvmI6UdB--1fiqh3cm2eU8R_r468aVPKCx1K40VTe21F_kAwfKrP2RlxL7_tVhVI0tyr8jfeLW7Qn-etgq39k8hat8_m-P1Co-eqiuV6F5e4rIAiP-rEObeg/w400-h284/Screenshot%202022-09-06%20at%2014.04.59.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Final Map</i></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The project was presented on Sunday 4th September, online, and a recording can be viewed below, or on our YouTube Channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSSADT2r0k8" target="_blank">here.</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lSSADT2r0k8" width="320" youtube-src-id="lSSADT2r0k8"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Project presentation</i></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Patrick S.

As is described fully in the accompanying catalogue, water stands as a powerful symbol of destiny, for both the regenerative life and development of the region, but also for the terror and suffering inflicted upon people of the region, terror and suffering that came to the shores of Africa from overseas.</p><p>The first room of the exhibition opens suddenly before us as an earthen plateau composed of clay and sand, mostly flattened but also featuring cracked lumps seemingly descending into a state of higher entropy. Placed at intervals throughout the space are globules of blown glass in blue, purple and clear examples. The shapes of these globules are irregular, suggesting the liquid state from which they came and also referencing 3D pools of water, somehow remaining on the surface of the sand and clay. </p><p>Lights shine on these glass globules increasing our awareness of their smooth, fragile surface and assisting in their likeness to water pools. The smooth nature of the glass globules seem to emphasise the gritty nature of the sand beneath them, while the sand and dry, cracked clay in turn emphasise the smooth, fragile surfaces of the globules.</p><p>As visitors walk around the room, their weight compresses the sand and clay, breaking down lumps and often cracking the surface. As we appreciate the installation, we also assist in the increasing entropy. Areas of the room begin to appear smoother, as the sand and clay begin to combine to form a hard surface as the soil of a countryside footpath hardens and smoothens over time due to the use it experiences and as the soil dries out. It is as if the nature of the materials slowly changes over time.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizFZdLJgM_4BT2o_0XXOzJm-yreeq5coh1GF8-FC4gJLGvcQzHS_3OAzErUUMaaDJ_bydLKdC3uxrlJzmLv-GlUxDc0rjscW_hecEKe2BgjLIyT36HVnh8sz3mJSsmkl1_tRqRmn9Wl0-vPZHLfib9mf-vg4DEHgrFfpBlUvoku3DcsX3-Z99-EzBOEQ/s3024/IMG_1108.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizFZdLJgM_4BT2o_0XXOzJm-yreeq5coh1GF8-FC4gJLGvcQzHS_3OAzErUUMaaDJ_bydLKdC3uxrlJzmLv-GlUxDc0rjscW_hecEKe2BgjLIyT36HVnh8sz3mJSsmkl1_tRqRmn9Wl0-vPZHLfib9mf-vg4DEHgrFfpBlUvoku3DcsX3-Z99-EzBOEQ/w400-h400/IMG_1108.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Zinodaka 2022 (Detail)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS-RWxKewj5kQNqbn3yHmZ_ED3krWuwteW2wl8skDAvnTj95mVMgwXNxrRlSjP5TmB74uYjJvMw6dY8NRsZJ1dshEEXtUOsV8XpQx-4i7vKUUm52IvDGjkjwQFjchsy-4m98lBSpyBP7zigrydoIIjKcYeLZ6WAqNaWEMW5esEwW4dzDV30oOD-DlRvw/s3024/IMG_1109.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS-RWxKewj5kQNqbn3yHmZ_ED3krWuwteW2wl8skDAvnTj95mVMgwXNxrRlSjP5TmB74uYjJvMw6dY8NRsZJ1dshEEXtUOsV8XpQx-4i7vKUUm52IvDGjkjwQFjchsy-4m98lBSpyBP7zigrydoIIjKcYeLZ6WAqNaWEMW5esEwW4dzDV30oOD-DlRvw/w400-h400/IMG_1109.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Zinodaka 2022 (Detail)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl8DkPZFciYt_Fm-ZtuRRSSzatAHhELBxbMF5RdbEZtqKT0wDAmQUMJTtzXfxnhAt2CInJbqnWs2Wd4LHpHguvd-OvTomimkZir1mL5IipYunoqPaKwWVDkL8nLqCE12NvVpekB3RtxtRTcgoG7JgGgjWadA005pgyvKgxPH5-J5Nq4vUHX380eQVzzA/s3024/IMG_1110.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl8DkPZFciYt_Fm-ZtuRRSSzatAHhELBxbMF5RdbEZtqKT0wDAmQUMJTtzXfxnhAt2CInJbqnWs2Wd4LHpHguvd-OvTomimkZir1mL5IipYunoqPaKwWVDkL8nLqCE12NvVpekB3RtxtRTcgoG7JgGgjWadA005pgyvKgxPH5-J5Nq4vUHX380eQVzzA/w400-h400/IMG_1110.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Zinodaka 2022 (Detail)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiis8LGgGyppIXRYOwGlVeM4JD9ou-5zBErhR_uPGj-ZPQ7KOt16OiPnTXNbEa6j0oC-X2uZgUI-Q2tKKBMWKgRrDgTbnztU7j4FmZgtW3efdIHJrVJW0FA2GJkXQoWhXx5JxvhdY_zK4NdGumIowCaa1jNn7wbIJ5Uwk8dE9BieSv6F475BgkXjZ0Ukg/s3024/IMG_1111.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiis8LGgGyppIXRYOwGlVeM4JD9ou-5zBErhR_uPGj-ZPQ7KOt16OiPnTXNbEa6j0oC-X2uZgUI-Q2tKKBMWKgRrDgTbnztU7j4FmZgtW3efdIHJrVJW0FA2GJkXQoWhXx5JxvhdY_zK4NdGumIowCaa1jNn7wbIJ5Uwk8dE9BieSv6F475BgkXjZ0Ukg/w400-h400/IMG_1111.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Zinodaka 2022 (Detail)</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The second room changes dramatically once we enter it. The sensation is akin to walking across a beach towards the sea edge, where large waves crash down onto the sand. Walking into the room feels as if the visitor is being enveloped by waves crashing around them. We negotiate the waves by walking through the open spaces left for visitors to explore the remaining space of the room. Once we are accustomed to this division of the room's space, it is possible then to focus on details of the wave structures, barbed wire, wrapped in fabric dyed three shades of blue. The shape barbs are a warning that though these may be waves crashing onto the beach, they are also a barrier, we are unable to enter the water. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here and there it is possible to pick out small collections of silver coins, hanging amid the waves. Are these coins the flotsam from some shipwreck or could they be offerings cast into the sea from the beach? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It is also possible to identify orange threads hanging within the wave structures, the orange resonates against its complimentary opposite - the blue of the wave, increasing their visibility. Could they be signals, or way-markings? Or are they further items of flotsam being tossed around randomly in the turbulent sea? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As the visitor reaches the far side of the room, rhythmic song can be heard from the third room. The song draws the visitor towards the final, small room and there is the definite sensation of having crossed a barrier, overcome an obstacle, reached a destination. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A bench allows the viewer to sit and relax while taking in the HD video. As the rhythmic singing drifts through the space, large cream-coloured sheets appear to billow in the wind. After a few seconds there are glimpses of figures who seem to be manipulating the sheets, perhaps communally drying them? This work reflects upon the ritualisation of repetitive, domestic activities such as washing and folding sheets on Sunday afternoons in South Africa.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The sheets also resemble waves or even ships' sails being buffeted by the wind.

Each piece of work sought to respond to, blend in with, or even react with (or against) the beautiful cathedral. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuGIuzOhUAsXT1fq92hSVGIA2H1I7eoPiFoGl2LytDFDNPQb6bZGaxJp0ZnSo6CRUL-VDhJFbdCWphjqaf7uh2n_1i_yjDKEhwVXrtXmzc0ul0YO2lKMBYlrmSlvGU2SUBlzLjuzTOd0WtcqpIdL13uiFqaVY8kz00c5edKvzQoQI17fLi5Ml3O0IvmA/s1280/Assembly_Wakefield-Cathedral-Exhibition-Poster.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="904" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuGIuzOhUAsXT1fq92hSVGIA2H1I7eoPiFoGl2LytDFDNPQb6bZGaxJp0ZnSo6CRUL-VDhJFbdCWphjqaf7uh2n_1i_yjDKEhwVXrtXmzc0ul0YO2lKMBYlrmSlvGU2SUBlzLjuzTOd0WtcqpIdL13uiFqaVY8kz00c5edKvzQoQI17fLi5Ml3O0IvmA/w283-h400/Assembly_Wakefield-Cathedral-Exhibition-Poster.jpeg" width="283" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>'Assembly' - Wakefield Cathedral</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Exhibition Poster</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Following on closely from the exhibition at Sunny Bank Mills in Farsley, a piece was created specifically for the cathedral environment and, in particular, for the north-east corner of the building. The grid formed by the stone floor, the masonry blocks of the walls and especially the memorial plaques attached to the walls at regular intervals were the inspiration for the white relief panel that was created for this exhibition and presented on a simple, wooden easel.</div><p style="text-align: left;">The colours that are usually such a feature of the 'District 7' panels were in this case erased, leaving a monochrome surface of painted wood and mdf squares that emphasised the undulating surface of the work.</p><p>Once installed, the piece seemed to work well in the environment. What was not anticipated was the incredible luminosity of the work as the sun traversed the building through the day and eventually focused a glorious shaft of light onto the panel. It is always a pleasure to discover an accidental quality such as this, one that renders the work in a far more sympathetic way than was ever planned or hoped for. </p><p>I would recommend a visit to Wakefield to see this exhibition before it closes on 29th August 2022. There are many other wonderful works to investigate, sited throughout the interior of the cathedral, some of which are discreetly hidden, awaiting discovery.</p><p>A pdf of the exhibition catalogue can be viewed <a href="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/5dUWRgQGTF6geTGhCu66" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>The Yorkshire Sculptors Group website can be found <a href="https://www.yorkshiresculptorsgroup.org" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This concept has been approached and examined in a variety of media and by employing a variety of methods and processes by members of the group. </p><p>The two 'District 7' pieces on show in this exhibition subtly raise the question of when a work is a painting and when it is a sculpture, where do we place the dividing line? Is there, or rather, should there be a dividing line between the two? Can a work simultaneously be a painting and a sculpture? </p><p>Robert Rauschenberg constructed 'Combines', as he called them, which were much more overt in presence. They seemed to remove distinctions between one medium and the other, making it extremely difficult to categorise the work. </p><p>The 'District 7' tiles are more modest in nature. From a distance, it could be assumed they were small, square paintings. Up close, the various levels of the tile components can be discerned. These are clearly solid and therefore the piece has been constructed using wood and/or MDF panels. In the past, paintings were often made of wood, the 'Mona Lisa', for example, was created with oil paint on a small panel of poplar wood. The two pieces here, however, have been deliberately built up to create a modular grid that varies in thickness, and have been painted in acrylic. They are certainly paintings and yet they have also been constructed as sculptures. </p><p>We can therefore ask ourselves how we would categorise them and how important we feel that categorisation process is. It seems to change the perception of the work and also its meaning. As with any work, we begin by asking ourselves what is that we are looking at here and we then progress by asking further questions. From that point on, each viewer's 'meaning' of the work will be developed individually, according to the different answers proposed to each question in turn. </p><p>It is definitely worth seeing this exhibition. Each work asks pertinent questions and makes for a very enjoyable day out in Farsley.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXL_MNFrJ5xXe4RNRykKxvO4UjYWblxpfWKRDX-KfmFPA0mlmCPTkkZgb_fnylJVPRwOpayyz-SZ2goU20xYhNz_UR2vwqDP5KbcRnIUr3-D4uHT84ThsnHAdcHXm1Ghddm6Cq5abt4xY7IIFNG1Mb6jHhVYjfbu4rf_nJLOZAmnIH0g8OkoauXhKl-g/s2480/3223%20RAW%20EDGE%20Poster-final%20artists.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

A small, empty chair forms the only immediately recognisable element within an otherwise quite abstract space. The muted colour palette adds a touch of melancholy to the scene that also possesses an almost painterly quality. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>The theme for issue 12 is: 'Recording' and 'Documentation', and contains engaging articles by the editors and others on topics such as site-specific sculpture, photographic observations of the New York subway, documenting urban landscapes, along with reviews of exhibitions at Leeds Art Gallery, University of Leicester, and an examination of the rituals and roles of archives.<div><br /></div><div>I would highly recommend reading this issue and past issues of this excellent journal.</div><div><br /></div><div>Read the current issue #12 <a href="https://www.soanywaymagazine.org/issue-twelve" target="_blank">here.</a></div><div><br /></div><div>The Soanyway website landing page can be found <a href="https://www.soanywaymagazine.org" target="_blank">here.</a><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p></div>Patrick S.

The way these scores can be interpreted in a multitude of ways has fascinated me since I began following and creating them. </p><p>My chosen route on this occasion was a short section of the <a href="https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-and-river-network/leeds-and-liverpool-canal" target="_blank">Leeds - Liverpool Canal</a>, beginning at <a href="https://www.visitleeds.co.uk/things-to-do/arts-culture/granary-wharf/" target="_blank">Granary Wharf</a>, walking west toward Armley. </p><p>To engage with this activity, try to match up some of the lines in the score with what was observed in the images below.

The book of recipes was launched on the second day of the <a href="https://walkcreate.gla.ac.uk/walkcreate-gathering/" target="_blank">#WalkCreate Gathering</a> - a '2-day event in London and online on the 18th and 19th May 2022, which shared and celebrated the use of creative walking to enhance wellbeing'.</p><p>30 artists from across the UK were <a href="https://walkcreate.gla.ac.uk/the-walkbook-recipes-for-walking-and-wellbeing-callout/" target="_blank">commissioned to create and contribute 'recipes'</a> that addressed one or more of the following research challenges:</p><p>Walks for inclement weather / walks when there's nowhere to walk / Walks when you are bored of walking / walks when you are bored of walking the same route / walks when you are shielding / walks when you cannot walk very far / walks when you are anxious / walks when you don't have much time / walks when you can't be bothered / walks for inspiration / walks as an act of self-care / walks for a social bubble / walks for the physically distanced but socially connected / walks to make others smile / walks for the isolated / walks for the lonely / walks for busy people / walks for escape / walks for winter / walks in the rain / walks when it is dark / walks for indoors / walks with children, babies and/or teenagers / walks to work something out / walks in a place you feel uncomfortable or out of place / walks of welcome / walks for all the senses / walks to read your environment / <b>walks to know your environment</b> / walks to combat fear / walks to build your confidence / walks to manage pain / walks to expose obstacles / walks to bridge communities / walks to acknowledge slower pace / walks to start a revolution...</p><p>The organisers also stated "we recognise that 'walking' refers to a diverse range of approaches and needs. While not all recipes may be suitable for everyone, our aim is that the majority will be".</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2BM4Ux2XXY0a9zwYtq9atcpZzH60w0mtdrDjXVeEepOn983ou_tO-QCN8woisXuHJaVCRfMepdXbjob86DdyfslB8qJ1k4kXQSB1ATjre-0fTbJrEPhaDkiTDgf8Gl9AE7sPHp0aXy38xghxUeTT-YviIlT8HmBwXFiwsU9bEESzJ8fcjZlAh78djPQ/s1796/Screenshot%202022-05-14%20at%2011.02.31.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1796" data-original-width="1270" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2BM4Ux2XXY0a9zwYtq9atcpZzH60w0mtdrDjXVeEepOn983ou_tO-QCN8woisXuHJaVCRfMepdXbjob86DdyfslB8qJ1k4kXQSB1ATjre-0fTbJrEPhaDkiTDgf8Gl9AE7sPHp0aXy38xghxUeTT-YviIlT8HmBwXFiwsU9bEESzJ8fcjZlAh78djPQ/w283-h400/Screenshot%202022-05-14%20at%2011.02.31.png" width="283" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The front cover of the The Walkbook</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://walkcreate.gla.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/THE-WALKBOOK.pdf" target="_blank">A pdf of The Walkbook can be downloaded here.</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://eprints.gla.ac.uk/293315/" target="_blank">The official Glasgow University reference</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSFKloesdgTML-CnJHnXDF_ZpD-GouUPcrWG7JPeolgVLiwz91yb9e6gGxHBqLG1c5b1ZhpKTgIbvGMG6eXjLG6wicqz_Bf9ZueHJ9QrIgT_PwtT5gLTLSMpF-k2YnzGIUbIyO2OiepYHN2pGjmGk_GmeUZLBPXGaoGhwWxtXLNEzsgVfJgzYhHM8Uw/s1950/Screenshot%202022-05-19%20at%2010.15.05.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1950" data-original-width="1384" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSFKloesdgTML-CnJHnXDF_ZpD-GouUPcrWG7JPeolgVLiwz91yb9e6gGxHBqLG1c5b1ZhpKTgIbvGMG6eXjLG6wicqz_Bf9ZueHJ9QrIgT_PwtT5gLTLSMpF-k2YnzGIUbIyO2OiepYHN2pGjmGk_GmeUZLBPXGaoGhwWxtXLNEzsgVfJgzYhHM8Uw/w284-h400/Screenshot%202022-05-19%20at%2010.15.05.png" width="284" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The #WalkCreate Gathering</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Nina and I worked on a recipe for the book and we identified our chosen challenge as relating to 'walks to know your environment'. Our aim was to create a series of questions posed to the reader/walker that could hopefully stimulate a better awareness and understanding of the environment. It was therefore necessary to create a recipe that did not specify a particular type of environment too clearly, aiming for an adaptable text that could be adapted to a variety of locations, places and spaces.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Besides the textual triggers, or provocations, we also devoted time to the visual layout of the recipe. We felt that the visual nature of the recipe and how the text is received by the reader is crucial to the creation of the relevant approach to the walk. We imagined each walk beginning at an entrance or gateway and later ending at roughly the same place. This meant the layout of the questions would be arranged in a circular pattern to suggest the cyclical quality of the walk. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Each block of text was placed within a hexagon. This decision was deliberate and referenced classic board layouts used in games of strategy. These were all physically linked to emphasise how each question/experience blended into the next. Graphic arrows were placed in order to emphasise the link between one hexagon and the next. The order of the hexagons was arranged clockwise from the bottom of the page, to mirror the layout on many classic board games. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The arrows were also created in green, in contrast to the blocks of text, to add a sense of depth to the composition and to focus attention onto the text.

The exhibition also revives the argument surrounding glass as a material and on which side of the craft / art divide it lies. For me, there is no divide and I approach all works with the same attitude, seeking to allow the work to speak to me (or not) and then following that thread as I attempt to construct meaning. </p><p>I have chosen a handful of examples from the exhibition to photograph here, though I would recommend the reader to visit the show themselves rather than relying on my selection of representative works.</p><p>Elliot Walker was the winner of the <a href="https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80215147" target="_blank">Netflix</a> series <a href="https://www.craftscouncil.org.uk/stories/winner-revealed-of-netflix-series-blown-away" target="_blank">'Blown Away'</a> and manipulates glass with ease. His work 'Spillage' suggests pop-art style graphic representations of still life, with an interesting commentary on the materiality of glass and its solid/liquid, almost contradictory, existence. In this still life, which elements are solid and which are liquid? He manages to represent and contrast both states with a single material.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgYG-AtJN2LP3f2JEdQfupSnhSLBzlDsk9Uzvy0poAt_D0EnaQ9q7Lbyh9Efly3Gg_E1J1d38ZgaJYuuvvKcsqy8YXQWknk26S9j4V5hQ2oXlMl2srAyOXu-mW2EjFqQbGpp4anh3F9_YZyUVyW44S7Mh_f9NXw4dqq44kL3wdnyartr6hfEucwPCY7w/s3024/Spillage-2019_Elliot-Walker.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgYG-AtJN2LP3f2JEdQfupSnhSLBzlDsk9Uzvy0poAt_D0EnaQ9q7Lbyh9Efly3Gg_E1J1d38ZgaJYuuvvKcsqy8YXQWknk26S9j4V5hQ2oXlMl2srAyOXu-mW2EjFqQbGpp4anh3F9_YZyUVyW44S7Mh_f9NXw4dqq44kL3wdnyartr6hfEucwPCY7w/w400-h400/Spillage-2019_Elliot-Walker.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Spillage</i>, 2019 - Elliot Walker</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://silvialevenson.com" target="_blank">Silvia Levenson's</a> work dramatically embodies fragility, the fragility of childhood, the fragility of democracy, the fragility of freedom, the fragility of life itself.

In the piece presented at the Henry Moore Institute, we are presented with blown glass forms that suggest internal organs with their haemoglobin colour and which, on closer inspection, appear soft, lightweight, and delicate. These are locked in zinc-plated steel cages and the intense contrast between the soft globular forms and the rigid steel box triggers a feeling of discomfort and pain.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPuL9EoJflKsrrqG3uO-b24McFiNC9H5BUcB7lH_Ze-nu5QpLPJj6H_ZspPLt8SzehRpuKyYM_3wd9Mjt9rKuv9hedn2ZFqh0r4lsePmGG2ogT-x58m0enCK7NMU91FLAp73ywW3JtOJ0UHs9h7QSlURMcArAyWQQen3QxvLZKyYDPHGNdKv_tzf3aww/s3024/Cells-2014_Mona-Hatoum.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPuL9EoJflKsrrqG3uO-b24McFiNC9H5BUcB7lH_Ze-nu5QpLPJj6H_ZspPLt8SzehRpuKyYM_3wd9Mjt9rKuv9hedn2ZFqh0r4lsePmGG2ogT-x58m0enCK7NMU91FLAp73ywW3JtOJ0UHs9h7QSlURMcArAyWQQen3QxvLZKyYDPHGNdKv_tzf3aww/w400-h400/Cells-2014_Mona-Hatoum.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Cells</i>, 2014 - Mona Hatoum</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Czech artist <a href="http://petrstanicky.cz" target="_blank">Petr Stanicky</a> combines a surreal biomorphic form with a car window, with the molten mirrored object appearing to take a bite from the car window and it this action that animates the arrangement and causes it to rise up from the plinth.

His work introduced me to <a href="https://www.moma.org/collection/works/81435" target="_blank">semiotics</a>, and how we construct meaning from what we see, how we develop preconceptions, how we understand what we think we know and how these thought processes stimulate the interpretation of the world around us. I was pleased to see his work included in the show and his work was the first and the last I looked at when I visited the exhibition. It was a great way to 'book-end' my visit and my reflections on the work of the artists represented. Often we are so seduced by the work of talented creators as we marvel at the incredible virtuosity and skills on display, that we forget to ask the simple questions such as what am I actually looking at? what are the materials used? What associations do these materials have for me? How have these associations been reinforced or subverted by what I have seen here? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As I left the building my head was full of questions about the work I had seen and what they suggest to me individually and collectively, and I couldn't ask more from an exhibition.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvWhYZgU3nEKCqAEkoG-M3-sZe2onR5mM9-DXPTbWZDTJUu7l4yLXTC_r6kBzYkVr7URKovG0UefGAenrCf3wzj37unJaOfZ8eePxvUfxPafwwbT260SmblqVd_RyOJ54_gMl9wuSaXf5ukVDw7XbbUPzoN-KDRwnJSDAc4r2cSQ7Gt7fuGFaPM_qSBA/s3024/Any-two-metre-square-sheet-Etc-1965_Joseph-Kosuth.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvWhYZgU3nEKCqAEkoG-M3-sZe2onR5mM9-DXPTbWZDTJUu7l4yLXTC_r6kBzYkVr7URKovG0UefGAenrCf3wzj37unJaOfZ8eePxvUfxPafwwbT260SmblqVd_RyOJ54_gMl9wuSaXf5ukVDw7XbbUPzoN-KDRwnJSDAc4r2cSQ7Gt7fuGFaPM_qSBA/w400-h400/Any-two-metre-square-sheet-Etc-1965_Joseph-Kosuth.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Any two metre square sheet of glass to lean against any wall</i>, 1965</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">- Joseph Kosuth</div><p><br /></p>Patrick S.

In total, we had twelve photographs to work with.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The first stage was to transform the photographs into graphic images by hand. As this process took some time, it allowed us gain a 'feeling' for the image and what was being captured, almost as if we were there ourselves, quite a lyrical approach we discovered. These days most of us are under pressure from deadlines and it is not often that we find ourselves with the luxury of patience. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Being patient is sometimes what is required and in this project it was essential. The entire process was also unexpectedly delayed when fate intervened, and an unexpected family bereavement brought the process to a halt.

Conference Paper Presentation.<p>On October 28th 2021, Nina and I presented our paper: 'Weaving Experience Into Memory': A cross disciplinary project investigating the intersection of Art and Design at IFFTI 2021 at The Pearl Academy, India that was held virtually this year to the pandemic.</p><p>The annual conference is organised each year by The International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes and this year the conference was hosted by The Pearl Academy of India.</p><p>The abstract of the paper ran as follows:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">‘Weaving Experience Into Memory’: A cross disciplinary project investigating the intersection of Art and Design. </span></b><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">This paper outlines the initial stage of a collaborative research project that began with an artwork, its development into a fabric print design, the creation of a single test garment, and eventually a small collection of related wearable items presented in the form of a public exhibition in District 7 of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The project that is the subject of this paper sought to explore several issues: can an artist and a fashion designer work efficiently and effectively together given the seemingly disparate nature of the two fields? What technical resources are available within the local industry here in Ho Chi Minh City?, and how could these resources be employed in order to reduce material wastage as well as manufacturing time and costs? In addition to this, could the project serve as a case study to inspire students?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">In order to explore these questions the paper will detail the collaborative process beginning with the conceptual methods used in the initial artwork creation involving walking, observation, the collecting of data, the draft stages and the final digital art print. This will then be followed by a description of the test printing of various fabrics, natural and man-made, the sourcing of local digital fabric printing companies and the creation of an initial test garment. Following the description of this initial testing phase, the paper will then seek to describe the design and construction of the subsequent garments and wearable items for presentation and finally the curation of the public exhibition along with the compiling of the accompanying catalogue. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">As the collaborative process is unpacked, the paper will address issues such as sustainability, fabric wastage, 3D virtual prototyping technology and short-run fabric printing technology. The majority of these new developments seek to eliminate the wastage inherent in traditional iteration processes, for example, extended lead times and high sample numbers. The team consciously attempted to adopt a zero waste policy and exhibition items such as the parasol and the wooden information hangers were clad with any useable remnants of surplus printed fabric left over from the garment fabrication.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The resulting exhibition, forming part of the <i>‘Vietnam Festival of Creativity and Design 2020’</i>, presented the entire creative process with reproductions of notebook pages, paper patterns, fabric samples, garments, footwear, a parasol and a video monitor screening computer simulated apparel designs and a 3D virtual fashion show with avatars wearing multiple variations of the designs on display. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: Maker culture, cross-disciplinary design, 3D virtual prototyping technology, apparel simulation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">A recording of the paper presentation can be viewed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBuILxpcLu4&t=2s" target="_blank">here.</a> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The IFFTI 2021 Conference website can be found <a href="https://pearlacademy2021.iffticonference.com" target="_blank">here.</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The full paper can be obtained upon request.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUYDT-DvDe7ah15FyGkjtcdRbyWtzpq5p1u8lhKQQdFzC8wqjQVRx0oS9uXyLMSq_BDKYhE8NH9_ePnCKxVojoEjDEIc7j1SoBzTlC8xmCznCd0GFrp-rGr6LK4g-_R5qh6euqQcAoGAoO/s2048/Screenshot+2021-10-28+at+11.35.45.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1148" data-original-width="2048" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUYDT-DvDe7ah15FyGkjtcdRbyWtzpq5p1u8lhKQQdFzC8wqjQVRx0oS9uXyLMSq_BDKYhE8NH9_ePnCKxVojoEjDEIc7j1SoBzTlC8xmCznCd0GFrp-rGr6LK4g-_R5qh6euqQcAoGAoO/w400-h224/Screenshot+2021-10-28+at+11.35.45.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><p></p>Patrick S.

The off-cuts of text left over from that previous work was now offered to participants so that they may use them to create scores that others could explore.</p><p>As I had greatly enjoyed participating in '52 scores', it seemed an easy decision for me to also participate in this <a href="https://thisisnotaslog.com/52-More-Blog" target="_blank">new project</a>. Of course, '52 More' involved taking responsibility for the compilation of a score, as opposed to following one compiled by others and it was this opportunity that attracted me.</p><p>To kick-start the process, Blake sent me an image and an assortment of short texts, sentences and phrases. As I was living in Vietnam at the time, the assortment was sent via email as opposed to the usual method via mail. </p><p>Once I had received Blake's email, I printed out the various snippets of text, as well as his letter, and began playing around with them on top of the base image that appeared to be a sample paint card, featuring a variety of 'popular yellows', produced by <i>Marquee Paint</i>.</p><p>Following the instructions, supplied by Blake, I played around with the texts for almost a week, creating passages, disassembling passages, recreating alternate passages with the text, before finally deciding upon a configuration that seemed to present possibilities for exploration while at the same time retaining an element of the unknown, and perhaps some slightly absurd suggestions. At the end of the week I had arrived at the final score, which can be seen in the first images below:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsY3ROZekJbp2-h0TRyTIlrLR3U1s8ejIomhHH23-bQ80uQOtggbxiGJ5RN4zQVNniTznqEBNF6Hf_ugR1hO3HBfiQ6nMdrYrj5rjimuo5A0QLdLg6AeP1IMqgOXB7kyJ3ys8Ww2FBQ_n0/s2048/Final-Version.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2031" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsY3ROZekJbp2-h0TRyTIlrLR3U1s8ejIomhHH23-bQ80uQOtggbxiGJ5RN4zQVNniTznqEBNF6Hf_ugR1hO3HBfiQ6nMdrYrj5rjimuo5A0QLdLg6AeP1IMqgOXB7kyJ3ys8Ww2FBQ_n0/w396-h400/Final-Version.jpg" width="396" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>The Final Score - 11</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The walk took place on Sunday 29th August 2021. <a href="https://thisisnotaslog.com/52-More-Blog" target="_blank">Blake</a> walked in New York City - USA, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pterolaur/" target="_blank">Laura Phelps</a> walked in Cardiff - UK, while Nina and I walked in Sewerby, East Yorkshire - UK.

This was an opportunity for participants and visitors to survey all the drawings that had been created by the three-person teams during the project duration.</p><p>Drawing Dialogue 3 was a project running from 2019-2021, involving 36 artists from around the world interacting with each other's work. The artists were arranged in groups of three with each artist initiating a set of four drawings. Once each felt that a good beginning had been established, they were sent on to the next artist in the group and so on until there were three sets of A2 drawings that all three had worked on. </p><p>The exhibition at the Keighley Creative Gallery will run from 10th June - 1st July 2021 at Old Sunwin House, Keighley, BD21 3QJ, UK.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfdddXQem9bB3b01lJrk7G8mWUKdLkRZ3nD6IBrGwEJiM95btOSe1ry9ZYW4CbBKrxhGc6-nsJ0mrLw7JEL4sK1mckFXTPYe9FR8GAEhVKruF5FS2_1aAZ3B2W8aiTYTkiKJLJC_WCQTd0/s1618/DD3+Poster+V4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1618" data-original-width="1184" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfdddXQem9bB3b01lJrk7G8mWUKdLkRZ3nD6IBrGwEJiM95btOSe1ry9ZYW4CbBKrxhGc6-nsJ0mrLw7JEL4sK1mckFXTPYe9FR8GAEhVKruF5FS2_1aAZ3B2W8aiTYTkiKJLJC_WCQTd0/w469-h640/DD3+Poster+V4.png" width="469" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnsarRY_ykFEBGdWqRzxk8XDFPuYrCTZTB4jh_EdOImWKoLciigrtxZz6NPC9ZtwAwKXpvUvGxwCEPlGu6qvqD2Ill74tPNjnDLt78hgtY4ZYVWkC_QiYpb7b3nupU5zWpqnbBECEYhdsI/s1242/Private-View.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1239" data-original-width="1242" height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnsarRY_ykFEBGdWqRzxk8XDFPuYrCTZTB4jh_EdOImWKoLciigrtxZz6NPC9ZtwAwKXpvUvGxwCEPlGu6qvqD2Ill74tPNjnDLt78hgtY4ZYVWkC_QiYpb7b3nupU5zWpqnbBECEYhdsI/w400-h399/Private-View.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>To attend the Private View (6-8pm), please email: </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="mailto:drawingdialogueproject@gmail.com" target="_blank">drawingdialogueproject@gmail.com</a></i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>From 2-4pm on Saturday 26 June there will be a Drawing Dialogue Symposium (online) during which participating artists will share their experiences working on the project and there will be an opportunity to discuss collaborative drawing and other drawing-related issues. <div><br /></div><div>To book your free ticket to the online event please visit: <a href="http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/drawing-dialogue-symposium-tickets-156296602345" target="_blank">www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/drawing-dialogue-symposium-tickets-156296602345</a><div><br /></div><div>An online symposium was held before the exhibition opening attended by 30 participants.
