No Matter What Shape - The Archive

AN ARCHIVE OF MY OLDER WORK - AN EXHIBITION SPACE FOR ORIGINAL AND ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF MANIPULATED WORKS THAT APPEAR AT MICKMATHERSARTBLOG - A PARKING PLACE FOR SELECTED GRAPHICS USED IN OTHER BLOG SIDEBARS - AN ARTWORK IN AND OF ITSELF

In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks. This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images. Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr. In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com

The Original Photograph -

"Study for The Lawn Chairs"
photograph by Mick Mather
Here's the promised peek at the original photo that resulted in "The Lawn Chairs" as posted on MICKMATHERSARTBLOG. As you can see, it's a fairly simple shot of some twigs scattered across a concrete slab. This is just as I found them, no rearranging was done, patterns formed out of chaos by invisible hands of the wind, the weather and perhaps a bird or small animal here and there.

I like this, too! I like it a lot. And the other one is really magical.

Thanks, Mary. This resulted through one of those happy accidents where you walk past something, turn back and then, "Whoa! What's this?"
