Here it is finally; the resulting animation from the drawing I did at PSL in August. It clearly has issues, like some wobbles, focus and other things, but as a first attempt I am going to try and let those things go and just enjoy the destruction.

I am in an exhibition at Rogue Project Space in Manchester, which opens this Thursday.
Exhibition details:
BUILT
1st to 8th April 2010. Opening the 1st of April from 6-8pm
Kristy Campbell, Lisa Gorton, Catherine Pudner, Emily Speed, Anna Sikorska
BUILT brings together 5 Female artists from across the UK whose practises deal with specific aspects of the built environment. Through the use of Sculpture, Installation, Animation and Performance the selected artists respond to the structures which surround our daily activity; be that personal shelters and social networks, or our more public man made surroundings that are compounded in the cities we live in. They search for a space in the parameters between art and these constructed locations, subtly commenting; “Women build stuff too”.
Built is curated by Elizabeth Murphy.

It is finally done – 88 copies of a second edition are available (actually, more like 60 as some have gone already), with an extra screen printed inner to make it a bit more special. £7 from me and at Lancashire Zine, Artists’ Books and Multiples Fair in January, add £2 for post and packing otherwise.
I have been having a great time in my studio – making shelters and life size versions of ‘Places for Hiding’ drawings (one of my artist’s books). The first group exhibition here at the Salzamt opened last week and the next will open in about three weeks.
Other interests: the Grottenbahn, Hitler’s unrealised plans for Linz and escapism mixed with ambition.
I am a veritable book factory at the moment. The drawings for this one; Places for Hiding have been around for a long time, but have always needed putting into a book. Places for Thinking and Places for Shelter in progress…
Places for Hiding
Lost at Sea is ready, just in time for the opening of ‘Climate for Change’ opening at FACT, Liverpool on Thursday 12th March. The book looks at those historic buildings that have been left behind with development, and as a result sit amidst incongruous new architecture or simply just alone.
The ‘dusty islands’ perch on precarious platforms above the sea.
Inkjet printed, stitched booklet housed in a tracing paper bottle envelope.
Edition of 20, priced at £7.50 from the FACT bookshop.
