Artworks @ The Printworks

I took part in Artworks just after I had finished University in 2009. The table you see is my ‘Animatable’. It is an instant animation system, I take photographs while people draw on the table – the photographs are animated on-the-fly and shown on a screen. These are all the photographs taken over a 2 day period, with the table set up at the Printworks in central Manchester. The track is Meander from Music Grows on Trees (Creaked Compilation).

The Whole Kit & Caboodle

I made the Whole Kit & Caboodle in 2006. I was just about to start studying Interactive Arts at Manchester School of Art & Design. Before University actually started, they sent us our first brief through the post in the summer. We had to choose from one of 4 titles, and make…. “something” (any medium). I chose video and music. I asked friends, family and acquaintances if they could tell me what the Whole Kit & Caboodle actually is. This is a film of their responses, accompanied by some music inspired by the responses and thinking about the question.

The general consensus was it means ‘everything’ – so the images are images of what was my everything for that summer. Good times. The film starts with my Dad laughing at the prospect of the question ‘What is the Whole Kit & Caboodle?‘.
