Video Sketches

Inspired by the work and blog of Jeff Sher and by my frustration with the length of time it often takes to create video projects, I have decided to start making some short Video Sketches.

Representing Landscape

Having returned from videoing and photographing a relatively remote Scottish Island named Rona, I had stopped off in Edinburgh to visit family. Interestingly I discovered there were two exhibitions investigating ways of representing Scotland’s unique landscapes. One from the ‘giant’ of modern painting Sean Scully and the other from 60 primary school pupils from Tollcross Primary School, Edinburgh and Bun-sgoil Shlète, Skye. Still with the alien and uncompromising landscape in my mind, it was with some surprise that it was the work of the school children that seemed more successful and inspiring.

New Blood Art Blog

Welcome to our blog. This is a space where you can find observations, thoughts, considerations and information - voiced in a personal way - from the perspectives of our artists, and from each other. Making art can sometimes be a lonely practice, particularly for artists who are starting out. Our artists very much value your comments about the artwork they exhibit on Newbloodart, as well as the opportunity to build a relationship with you. So please feel free to respond briefly or at length to whatever you find here.*

Our artists use this space to write about everything from the frustrations of work; exhibits that inspire; radio programmes enjoyed; technical problems to be resolved; difficult decisions about what to show, and just when a piece can or must be called finished. They sometimes use it to publicize exhibitions and talks; to publicly resist the need for a consistent style; to make unusual analogies, comparisons and connections (and, occasionally, to make embarrassing admissions). Click on the artists below to follow their strands.

We look forward to reading what you think.
