No Matter What Shape - The Archive

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

From the Cube, a bowl -

"Paper Bowl"

After making my paper from the remains of "Erosion Cube", I decided to add some yellow daffodil petals and some leaves to the remaining pulp to make a bit more paper and this paper bowl. A thin sheet was laid out, pressed and then layered over a form - in this case a light bulb. I forgot to oil the bulb for an easy release and ended up having to wet the dry pulp and then pry the bowl off carefully with my thumbnail. It worked out okay and I may do this again soon.
