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

Papermaking -

"Making Some Paper"

Using my "Erosion Cube" and some household items such as the blender, 5-gallon tub, a plastic container (that brought leftovers home from the diner) and a mesh onion bag, I made some paper. See the full story and the final, fully dried result of the cube at MickMathersARTblog.

I bet that pulp felt so good when you squished and manipulated that water out! Then there's the satisfaction of feeling/seeing (using?) the paper at the other end...I really want to make some now too!

Oh boy! Did it ever feel good! It was a blast and working with the pulp itself was just like that old nursery rhyme, "snips 'n snails 'n puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of"! :D
