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

Disintegration Admiration: The Movie -


"Disintegration Admiration: The Movie"
digital video by Mick Mather
I installed "Stimulus Package I", for Seth's project, Disintegration Admiration, this afternoon during a bit of a lull as a cold front blew fiercely through the BIG Back Yard. I took a number of documentation photos and then, as the thing moved vigorously in the wind, I decided to shoot a short movie in the event that it was immediately carried away. So far, so good. I'll continue the documentation over the course of the next 6 weeks or so and post the results here.

B & W version of the original -

"Silverback"
digitally manipulated photograph by Mick Mather
- click image to view full size -

I thought I ought to show a cleaner version of this photograph posted at MickMathersARTblog and Thursday Challenge for the week's theme: windows and doors. As most of you who know me will understand, manipulating photographs is what drives me and that's the one you'll see over there. If there's any interest, let me know and I'll post the original, color version soon.
