Working Update

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and Covid-19 lock down the Arts and Audio Interactivity project development has had to put on hold. I am not concerned that it will not go ahead and indeed, I am excited about the changes that I will need to make to my own interactive tapestry weaving in order to allow for the potential nervousness of multiple people touching an art work.

I have had several exhibitions postponed for the same reason but these will be rescheduled for 2021 and dates will be advertised when confirmed.

The work for which I have received an a-n Artists Bursary award is going ahead but this too has had to be postponed, though for less time as this extra training in Python coding and use of Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

Further funding applications towards developing new work have also been postponed but, again, I hope I can proceed with these soon.

In the meantime, you can still see my existing work in audio interactive tapestry weaving on the Sound and Weave page.

A&AI Post 4

The Art and Audio Interactivity project continues to develop and the first thing to say about this is probably the title of the project.

The new title is Textures of Sound – Art and Audio Interactivity.

Having now met the new Director for Disability Arts Cymru, Ruth Fabby, we have been able to identify and hone some of the strategies for realising the project. Those who hear about it are enthusiastic and the prospect of working with other artists to develop skills and new work towards an interactive touring group exhibition, is becoming more exciting by the day.

My last visit to DAC in Cardiff allowed us to move further forward with the project development and also gave me another chance to look at (and touch!) Rachel Wellbeing’s textural paintings hanging on the walls there.
