“The internet is my gallery” (2015-23)

For the time being, this is a collection of two kinds of work.

Some are internet-only works, or best distributed over the internet…

Exhibition/Installation

10 October is World Mental Health Day. During the preceding two weeks I practised Noticing Nature from the Greater Good in Action website.

Exhibition/Installation

"Listening to Silent Spring" audio

“Listening to Silent Spring” is a piece of sound art, based on a listening walk around east Exeter on the 50th anniversary of publication of "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson. The sounds I noted became the script for the piece. The work is mostly silence, which allows the listener to become aware of their own ambient soundtrack.

Exhibition/Installation

"Q is for Quarries"

"Q is for Quarries" is an A-Z trail that allows people to discover the distinctive Heavitree Stone used to build the red skeleton of Exeter.

Exhibition/Installation

"Heavitree Stone Regular"

Steven Bramble designed the alphabet. I turned it into the font used on all the Heavitree Quarry Trails outputs. I've made it available to download it for your own use too.

Exhibition/Installation

"What three words...?"

What three words…? is an online tool that captures in a simple way what places mean to people. It is aimed at encouraging people to pay attention to place. Between January and March 2018, I used it as a way of gathering insights into people’s views of St Loyes as a place to live and/or work.

Talk/Workshop

"Dress for overcast"

In which I was a creative lead at a MozFest Fringe hack day, and also tinkered with Javascript to create some generative weather forecast poetry in motion.

…and some I have not (yet) made, but presented as though I have

Because if, as the Tate says, “Conceptual art is art for which the idea (or concept) behind the work is more important than the finished art object”, then does the art object need to be made at all?

Exhibition/Installation

"Angel of the SW"

Set on a high point within Ludwell Valley Park, Exeter, the Angel's weathered steel reflects the rust-red warmth of the local stone. It serves as a focus and an anchor, helping to tether us and give us a sense of place in an ephemeral and rapidly changing world.

Performance/Event

"This world is not conclusion"

It took several days to create a sand painting of the Compact Muon Solenoid at CERN, laboriously piling grains of sand one on another. Then soon after completion it was destroyed.

Exhibition/Installation

"Elsewhere"

Not far from Land's End, there is a small south-facing bay comprising St Loy's Cove and Paynter's Cove. Not many years ago, storms washed up a large chunk of metal onto the top of the beach. Now, it has been resettled to the M5 Services at Junction 30.
