THE ARTIST IN RESIDENCE 16 : IN CAMERA

 inside a black room..

in the local contemporary art gallery..

the artist waits behind a closed door..

he has his Sony RX100 pointing at the blackness..


the door opens..

and our boy shoots..


this is what he thinks photography is..

the unexpected..



the happy accident..


the lucky break..


chance meeting..


like Kandinsky..

seeing his painting upside down..

in the moonlight..

abstract.. 

innit!

THE ARTIST IN RESIDENCE 15 : In the shower with Janet Leigh

 WOMEN WASHING


people were maybe expecting..

something like a Degas or a Bonnard..

the artist in residence..

has come up with this..


it's Janet Leigh acting..

from the shower..

in 'Psycho'..

the artist in residence..

 has married her with this wifey..

from a Vim advert..

it's a play on Munch..

more or less expressive..



it is also about Marilyn..

and Andy..

it is the destruction of his icon..

it is a screen print..

a pattern..

but not a repeat..

this is interactive..

you get to play with the flaps..

re-arrange the image..

but not the ending..


SHE OPENS HER MOUTH TO SCREAM


but the pot has boiled over..

the acting dead..

are dear departed..

a moment of pure cinema..

"the darndest thing I ever saw"


worth 15 minutes..?


the suspense is killing me..


bit of a chameleon this one..
