“Minecraft my home” meetup during Art Week Exeter

“Minecraft my home” is an ongoing activity as part of my “Working with Gold” programme of public art in St Loyes. It is a re-creation of St Loyes as a world in the Minecraft game. During Art Week Exeter, I held a meetup to explore the world together, share what we have been creating, and build more stuff.

Working with gold, weaving with data – talk content

Further to yesterday’s post about my five-minute talk “Working with gold, weaving with data” at Exeter City Futures, I thought I’d share more of the talk content.

"Working with gold, weaving with data", short talk at Exeter City Futures Autumn Connect about art in St Loyes, Exeter

Working with gold, weaving with data

Exeter City Futures’ Connect events are an opportunity to share ideas on the big problems that they believe Exeter needs to solve as it transitions towards becoming energy independent and congestion free. At the Autumn Connect, I presented my developing vision for a programme of art in St Loyes, aimed at nurturing a sense of place and building community.

"What does it mean to be Artist in Residence, literally in residence?" a Lunchtime Talk at Kaleider on Working With Gold: Art in St Loyes

What does it mean to be Artist in Residence, literally in residence?

I’ve been playfully exploring my local area for a number of years, its history, geography, biodiversity, archaeology, and myth – some invented! This Kaleider Lunchtime Talk was a shout-out to anyone with an interest in any aspect of place-based art and/or who lives in St Loyes.

PechaKucha on “Green|Blue” at Greenbelt

For the second time, I was at Greenbelt giving a PechaKucha about my artwork. Last year it was about “Particulart”. This year I was showing “Particulart” in the Allotment Shed gallery on Sunday, and my PechaKucha on Saturday was about my work and motivations more generally.

Freefall Climate Graffiti - sorting out the stencils

“Freefall Climate Graffiti” Workshop 3: Making the Stencils and Skills Sharing

Making the stencils was a big job, literally. We are going to build up the images from a base layer of the main colour, and add the other colours as layers on top. It means we can be canny re what stencils we need.

Freefall Climate Graffiti - bluewashing

“Freefall Climate Graffiti” Workshop 2: Preparing the Wall

While the Freefall youth group took it in turns to bluewash the Phoenix graffiti wall… the Met Office knitting group gave the others a crash course in crafting, and much crochet and more pompoms were created.

Who has the wisdom? Adapted from a sermon during the Sidmouth Science Festival in 2015.

Who has the wisdom?

Who has put wisdom in the inward parts,
or given understanding to the mind?
Who has the wisdom to number the clouds?
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
— Job 38:36-37

PechaKucha on “Particulart” at Greenbelt

PechaKucha is a new way of doing Powerpoint presentations. There are 20 slides, which must be images only, and they change automatically every 20 seconds, so the talk is only 6 minutes 40 seconds in total. It becomes more of a performance than a presentation.

Last night, at somewhat short notice, I stepped into a breach and gave a St Michael’s Lecture. I liked the title so much, I adopted it for the work.

Talking about “Prayer”

This evening, I’ve been asked to talk about Prayer, I suppose because I have a practice of contemplative prayer and am about to go and live alongside a monastic community. Trouble is, how do I express the inexpressible? Here is roughly what I want to say.
