A month into the new year, and we decided to reignite the project that never really took off in 2024: The garment project! With renewed excitement, and after a coffee chat to take stock on our inability to see this through the first and second time round, I decided to ask for help. I have […]

Fallen Democracy, Revolt and Silenced Voices
Continuing on from the theme or deceit and smoking mirrors,I needed some darker elements, most of which I was able to source from creative common sources. I then enlisted my friend Firefly and Chat with the delicate task to generate some material I could use for this project. While I initially wanted to stick with a […]
Con or not…I’m happy!
The easiest person to deceive is oneself A quote by Edward Bulwer-Lytton While the idea that my confidence was so low that I would pay £20 for a pack of decoupage against the promise of an online exhibition (which never manifested) was running constantly in my mind while I was going through […]
Feeling Boosted but searching for that voice.
It has been a few weeks since I responded to this call to create a collage for this online gallery. I initially threw myself into the challenge in order to jolt myself into a creative practice I struggled to revive. I has continued to be a struggle as I procrastinated for weeks looking at this […]
A creativity Booster …or is it?
I recently came across this social media call from Tebbs Contemporary Gallery, for a collage project. Although this sounded like a total con, it also provided me with the perfect opportunity to kick start my creativity after this very long slump. The call requires one to purchase a collage pack to work from, get inspired […]
A bit of progress – Some thoughts, collage experimentation, one design.
A Nature and Technology I recently started doing some scrapbooking in my personal journal and found myself remembering how I loved the art practice of collage. As a past lecturer, this is something I integrated in my Interactive Photography class, as well as in my animation classes. Layers, movement, intersections, new shapes and new narratives […]
A productive session
After reviewing our approach, we decided to explore a bit more of the elements we wanted to develop and fell back on the almost sinful and shameless use of AI generated imagery. A useful method still, for a process of elimination and possible direction. Spikes, details, ornate, black and white and block colours. We agree. […]
A Short Adventure in Motion Capture
Made in Code: Re-Imagining the Experience of Fashion Attitudes A couple of weeks back I was sent a link to an event the V&A was putting on in collaboration with UCL and the University of the Arts as part of a funded research project around Fashion and Technology, this part of the project exploring […]
AI experiments – DreamStudio
Starting exploring some ideas, albeit Ai generated, I can hardly take credit, but already feel like I have achieved something. What I am not sure as it is quite deceptive, thinking these images belong to you, that they come from you, yet in part they are , as this process in one where you “”dream […]
Generative backgrounds
Using code to generate visuals has always interested me but I never reached a level of coding ability high enough to be able to claim interesting let alone striking imagery. However, 10 years have passed since I last tried, and since then, great work has been produced and continues to be produced by talented and […]
