Captured time

    and so it came to pass. 2005 (detail)

It's new years eve and as warmer temperatures come and slowly peal away the layers of time incapsulated in white, the evidence of our means are revisited. It is in many ways  the same as what I explored in the work - And so it came to pass. 2005 - the evidence, marks and life incased within the walls of any appartment.

Stille Nacht

.... heilige Nacht. That I can't say with any certainty, but the snow that came this late December to Berlin brought an undoubted peace with it. Looking out of my window late evening the picture presented before me held such a stillness, a complex and infinite dance of moment and mayhem played before me. The snow twisting in silent swirls of petticoat lace too remote to crave but so deep and close as the deepest depths of forgotten pockets newly explored. It held me suspended for how long I do not know but now I recall scenes from the film - Powaqqatsi - from Godfrey Reggio that had the same endless stillness in motion. This is all a rather long way round to saying I could only eventually step outside and sink myself into the very same darkness. It's corney to say but if there is any such thing as a church, in the real meaning of the word, then the all absorbing silence under those heavy stained dark skies was the ceilling of such. 

Dessau – portraits

Working along side a week long project run by anschlaege.de which explored the visions and perspectives of young people in Dessau, of Dessau, I produced a number of portraits of the participants which were later used for poster and included in an exhibition staged in the Bauhaus, Dessau. 

Early and late

I intend to prove one can be in two places at once. For in the next couple of sentences I shall claim to be both early but late, where the new is but old and the end only the start. I had previously promised to follow the last post up with further infomation only then to leave things as they were for god knows how long – LATE. But if I was to issue a promise that this poor blogging performance of mine is to be finally changed for a more active model, my new year resolution - then it could be said to be – EARLY. Either way what NEW is to follow I admit is rather OLD. So I will try and compress a large span of time into small set of posts and bring things up to date.
