INSIDE A BUBBLE exhibition

I'm taking part an exhibition - INSIDE A BUBBLE with Liz Miller, Howard Miller and Welmoet Wartena at the Medcalf Gallery from now until 21 August. The private view is on Monday 4 July, 6.00 - 9.00 pm so do drop in and say hello if you're in the area.

Here is a little bit about the exhibition:
In a transient and turbulent world, we try to create order out of the chaos by constructing our own individual realities. In this exhibition, three visual narratives explore the coping mechanisms and behavioural patterns of people sensitive to their current surroundings. Ideas about isolation, reconstruction and adaption within these constructed environments are expressed in the work.

Open City - Festival Programme

This is the last OPEN CITY related post as the job is finally finished! Here are some pictures of the festival programme I designed which listed details of the 140 films on show. There were 8 strands to the festival - City Scope, Crime & Punishment, World Visions, Science Fictions, Still Lives, Field & Factory, Exhibition Format and Obsessions. I created an illustration to accompany each of the strands.

Open City animation by Craig Murray

My illustrations for the Open City Documentary have been brought to life by the animator Craig Murray. I think the hand-made, cut out quality of the animation fit very nicely with the illustrations. Amazingly, he made the whole thing using an A4 scanner!
