About Me

My Photo

Location: Syracuse, New York, United States

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

Land Art Project -

"Sky Box I, Plate 4"
land art sculpture by Mick Mather
While perfect weather was available I went ahead with construction using the foundation shown and documented yesterday. Just as I thought I might, I moved to larger twigs and branches to create this shoulder high, 1-foot square box. With the extra weight, it began to tilt, one corner came undone and more tying, using long grass, was necessary. A twig, as a support between said corner and a lower branch of the huckleberry bush, was also added. It's relatively stable and decidedly complete, but I do expect that the first strong wind will take it apart and that's okay. I actually prefer the original plan, to build Sky Box with wild grain stalks, and I may harvest a basket full before the snow flies and work on a proper weaving of Sky Box II that can be carried out and installed on any fair day that arrives thereafter. I'll be posting other views of Sky Box I at MICKMATHERSARTBLOG as time goes by ... also, some digital studies and manipulations of the original sketch - like this one - will be posted there from time to time. Enjoy.
