rust taste burnt mouth…the album cover

Since June we have been working on a vinyl release, piano + poetry recorded here in 2013/14.

Thanks to Bertie at Teabar Records a limited edition of 111 albums have been made, each of the 111 covers is different-a modified photographic image or collage.

The black box edition-of which there are 11 made contains the record ’rust taste burnt mouth’; the music transcription of 4 tracks by Tim Jones @window135 made by Andrew Zhou @melodyforanewday and the poetry by Gerry Mitchell.

The album has been mastered by Ian Button @papernut_c

It has been 6 months of pure pleasure for us…and there is more to come with a performance planned for December when the 111 records go on sale.

Two album covers are in @southwarkparkgalleries open 25 which opens on
November 8th-December 6th.

If you would like to reserve an lp or black box do dm me-there are few black boxes available.

Thanks to…

‘If you must know, this is the shading structure above a glass roof that sits right next to a mirror polished stainless steel ceiling.
It is fragmented to prevent solar gain only where necessary whilst maximising daylight.
The result is a layered composition of not just steel and glass but also of the surrounding vegetation, the sky and even dirt. Crucially it is the reflection of reflections of all these aspects combined that are responsible for this stark juxtaposition of a modern geometry and the organic world.’

conceptual woven bag…2024

@zibian27

Tingting’s philosophy is rooted in the art of hand-weaving, drawing inspiration from traditional tapestry techniques applied to contemporary art practice.

Inspired by the works of Anni Albers and Fukumi Shimura, ‘the Conceptual Woven Bag’ colour and material selection demonstrates her preference for the beauty of the yarn and weave structures, balanced with functionality:

the soft focus of cotton, the shimmer of raw silk and hemp provide a bold contrast.

The work is not just about fabrics but also everything seen, touched and worn.

Influenced by her superstition-rich Cantonese background, Tingting seeks to explore the spiritual properties of natural fabrics and animal hair. Animal hair is said to bring a sense of meditation, good luck, and wealth to the wearer.

The “Amulet Collection-Wild Attachment(2023)” was inspired by a visit to ‘Lindway Springs Alpacas’.

Using soft alpaca wool and fur, she experimented with double cloth and tapestry techniques on a loom to weave wearable talismans.

Many thanks to Tingting for the work and the great conversation. Find more @arieeelll33

Jean-Marc Dubruel de Broglio Reflections on a genocide…of helplessness and despair.

Born out of hopelessness but having to do something… although it makes no difference.
The slow process of painting each stick is calming. The bone white paint covering each branch unifying the fallen limbs, each losing its identity, abandoned to a new landscape.

In public view the pile of sticks grows each day…’

Many thanks to Jean-Marc for the work.
