Viewing single post of blog FROM LONDON TO LOCALISM

I have a full week off teaching so I am enjoying time to focus entirely on my practice. I have been working on some collages for zine type books I am going to print on the digital printer at MMU once the term starts back. I have also been finishing the other concertina book pages which I will also be able to finish binding when term starts back. The week has also allowed me to finish off the screenprint edition of ‘Occupants Will Vary’, which I have been drawing in colour into with pen.

My animation has been selected for the Video Jam 2 event at the Antwerp Mansion, Manchester. Curated by a current student at MMU, the night presents silent films that are animated by live musical score. I am hoping I will be able to make it to the event, as I am in Edinburgh that day. Video Jam 2 is on the 22nd April at 7pm – for further details visit http://jennysteelelondon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/video-jam-2-at-antwerp-mansion-22nd.html.

We have also had our first day visiting the Cross Acres Community Knitting Group, as part of a collaboration ‘#Knitterfeed’ with artist Elizabeth Wewiora, programmer Tom Kinniburgh and the Xacres for the Handmade event at Future Everything Conference in May 2012. They were a lovely, warm welcoming group of super skilled knitters, and I have been refreshing my skills. On the run up to, and on the 19th May 2012 at Handmade at Victoria Baths, we are going to be knitting objects and forms that come about through tweets on twitter, or reflect the network of twitter. We are also looking for any donations of yarn, if you can donate any please email me ([email protected]).
