For the most part I achieved this and more importantly got involved in activities which broadened my practice in a way that was both disquieting and exciting.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My first few days at Polymer had already been unsettling.<span style=""> </span>Arriving at my new home I’d gotten very lost, been insulted, couldn’t find any food that looked recognisable and when I did get around to making work it had been destroyed. But then things took a turn for the better.<span style=""> </span>I was given a teapot and suddenly I was productive and sociable.<span style=""> </span>Conversations lead to new ideas and my work began to change.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">After one such tea fuelled very late night conversation with Sandra Jogeva, Estonian Artist and Co-ordinator of Art Container, I agreed to have my blood taken.<span style=""> </span>I’d already decided I was going to make paper in batches of 100 until I have made 1000 so the blood was to be used for one batch.<span style=""> </span>Fortunately photojournalist Damaso Reyes had arrived from Brooklyn and agreed to document the process.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">At 8.30am on Monday 18<sup>th</sup> May Sandra came to my room with needles, a rubber belt and sterile swabs.<span style=""> </span>I wore a Russian bridesmaid’s dress and sat in the sun whilst she prepared my arm.<span style=""> </span>She complained my veins were too small, tightened the rubber belt on my arm and ordered me to pump the blood with my hand so she could get the vein. On the second attempt she hit the vein but went through. Blood poured from me. I spent the rest of the day in the dress making 100 cups of tea for my many guests as well as 100 bloodstained sheets of paper.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">It was UNICEF blue week whilst I was there and I was asked to do a workshop on making paper.<span style=""> </span>With limited equipment I was worried how it would go but the attitude of the people at Polymer was so that encouraged sharing and collaboration.<span style=""> </span>There was room for individuals to create their own work as well as work collectively.<span style=""> </span>The group make paper from things they’d found and gathered including old Estonian books, krooni, wallpaper plants and bamboo fibres. We also attempted a large collaborative work that may raise a few eyebrows.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In the four weeks I made 1000 sheets of paper, 8 paper action figures, <span style=""> </span>a pinhole camera, went to a lecture, sang at a church, planted some tomatoes, got involved in a sound art installation, and met interesting people from all over the world.<span style=""> </span>As well as this I have had uncountable experiences and conversations that have made me rethink about art, life and morality. <span style=""> </span>I’ve found that all I had to do in Tallinn to get something done is to open my door and get the kettle on.</p></div></span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table>Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192401559467329059.post-60441522272465174452010-04-28T13:55:00.000-07:002010-06-28T14:19:21.249-07:00Cabinet of Curiosities<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OErugSop0whw75q4sSPeGt4G7y5E1ukVCEPwncJeEJC5VQ66TdaI34hULHPHZD3ZFBHNRRLgpggeXwUo7lcRePNLfD_CjnMiILix009wlDn5eKqY7W6fr9B359E0jI8Ok1YrudjAlTj2/s1600/P040310_14.090003.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-OErugSop0whw75q4sSPeGt4G7y5E1ukVCEPwncJeEJC5VQ66TdaI34hULHPHZD3ZFBHNRRLgpggeXwUo7lcRePNLfD_CjnMiILix009wlDn5eKqY7W6fr9B359E0jI8Ok1YrudjAlTj2/s400/P040310_14.090003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487931767506082434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzZQXFuwVZMGISMS-jiaL1cG1n7WUw4w92XPA2cV91C4MKv9_hvKO5WrBd7h-3wm9VhRR3firXk6bIfYToVcURtRnUcpg2vizSN1Uasbke9FICH0_U8lCEgJsc43V_xzCbrJ3pU_W06aB/s1600/P040310_14.100001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzZQXFuwVZMGISMS-jiaL1cG1n7WUw4w92XPA2cV91C4MKv9_hvKO5WrBd7h-3wm9VhRR3firXk6bIfYToVcURtRnUcpg2vizSN1Uasbke9FICH0_U8lCEgJsc43V_xzCbrJ3pU_W06aB/s400/P040310_14.100001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487931757456968178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3qET51YVTbYI24C7oj79W0ARvnGRFVoijopoOA5e22Qv1FOVy3U0-i7xkjfOSWrZmv2U_oBUFzBejvCy3gKTpMNlQMA9LsuJyU6t5j4-KIvqrJohAJAbyER3EoIGVUyg5tzTHh5tls6k/s1600/P040310_14.100004.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3qET51YVTbYI24C7oj79W0ARvnGRFVoijopoOA5e22Qv1FOVy3U0-i7xkjfOSWrZmv2U_oBUFzBejvCy3gKTpMNlQMA9LsuJyU6t5j4-KIvqrJohAJAbyER3EoIGVUyg5tzTHh5tls6k/s400/P040310_14.100004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487931754992640370" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />As part of the Leeds International Artists Book Fair I was invited by curator Louise Atkinson to make a book work to be installed in a cabinet.<br /><br />I made a minature library by slicing sections of books I had read so that they fit into the space.

When the song came on we would dance. There were Fraggles and Doozers - the Fraggles just had a laugh and the Doozers spent all their time working. The Doozers made buildings out of clear plastic.<br /><br />When I found the clear plastic pieces in the Work Study room (the study of effectiveness in the workplace) I was reminded of this world of workers and bosses and all things Marxist. I was in a hard hat (like a Doozer) in a factory (like a Doozer) being told what to do (like a Doozer) with this clear material ( like a Doozer) but yet I wanted to have fun (like a Fraggle) and I wanted to play (like a Fraggle) and I was enjoying myself (like a Fraggle). It was a strange place to be. I<br />felt that the only thing I could do was be a Fraggle playing a Doozer. The result of my playing was a maze for a rubber stegosaurus I found earlier.<br /><br />The second thing I made happened when I went into the office. In the drawers I found headache tablets, a plaster, a sewing kit, a birthday card, a cassette tape, a nail file, some doodling and a few other personal effects. Of all the other trash lying around these small personal effects were<br />evidence of the people who worked there every day. I wanted to archive these objects because the were so personal. Using paper from the same office to make paper pulp I fossilised these objects to preserve them and keep them in acknowledgement of the people who spent every day at the factory.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGH7hZwydIrn1KFalNz1s-b09TcLpPSM5jvXCl03a9zRM-vb7UjnWIeYIDe0zPhmuGtJ_XHog3bAjl2PY9qOyyvKPhNFlspPQUTwZxPkmmqWEDubpJ-i1dofB75GdyQ4NrzzupXpovjG9m/s1600-h/P260809_11.490003.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGH7hZwydIrn1KFalNz1s-b09TcLpPSM5jvXCl03a9zRM-vb7UjnWIeYIDe0zPhmuGtJ_XHog3bAjl2PY9qOyyvKPhNFlspPQUTwZxPkmmqWEDubpJ-i1dofB75GdyQ4NrzzupXpovjG9m/s400/P260809_11.490003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397388577484222242" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1vzKW4L4IEtPG4_TD9MxK4W0NftFPcFrNEXia_Qxo3-WLIeiMG3lMIsexnd15stDckjQiZvGr5M3b8VwqQL_6-aps3HJNqPbBO4ulDo5fqUCh4BidAMonQ08ZjXO-GOzzPSSx3Z8NsZiz/s1600-h/P260809_11.480001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1vzKW4L4IEtPG4_TD9MxK4W0NftFPcFrNEXia_Qxo3-WLIeiMG3lMIsexnd15stDckjQiZvGr5M3b8VwqQL_6-aps3HJNqPbBO4ulDo5fqUCh4BidAMonQ08ZjXO-GOzzPSSx3Z8NsZiz/s400/P260809_11.480001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397388574650722674" border="0" /></a>Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192401559467329059.post-30208167150194080352009-10-17T13:51:00.000-07:002009-10-27T13:58:03.758-07:00Natural Selection'Natural Selection' at Arts@Trinity October 2009<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipGeGqbnnzn9sAXUZvTirbrxnz-LG0UPPoacY9KqhumV8CcHsoGyG7fovul3mVLACMZbqa_4Nnq-JVz6oQ21J5uGILbLSag7Pr7H-fWoxJjEfFzgU4L140l90MCzXOglCZ7fzOyd3W0G0d/s1600-h/P011009_17.100001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipGeGqbnnzn9sAXUZvTirbrxnz-LG0UPPoacY9KqhumV8CcHsoGyG7fovul3mVLACMZbqa_4Nnq-JVz6oQ21J5uGILbLSag7Pr7H-fWoxJjEfFzgU4L140l90MCzXOglCZ7fzOyd3W0G0d/s400/P011009_17.100001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397385694532237890" border="0" /></a>Confinement and The Sinner<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisiBiSyBC95vi6Rx9PRi5oFibS2eWDS9qBkP-1urEjcQBsBf1ZfbPhRtASYj8JTG90uZKInIFk2RGGbTZcsUCYtId46kMG3dFdXWTjFjSs3hzS5MxdsL5lhpqtobZaTcO55qTS-vc0z_54/s1600-h/P011009_17.150001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisiBiSyBC95vi6Rx9PRi5oFibS2eWDS9qBkP-1urEjcQBsBf1ZfbPhRtASYj8JTG90uZKInIFk2RGGbTZcsUCYtId46kMG3dFdXWTjFjSs3hzS5MxdsL5lhpqtobZaTcO55qTS-vc0z_54/s400/P011009_17.150001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397385697231815090" border="0" /></a>Grandchild with Kiss and Not so White<br /><br />A group exhibition by members of the Yorkshire Sculptors Group in response to Darwin's Origin of Species.Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192401559467329059.post-1026505606070645152009-08-04T06:51:00.001-07:002009-09-13T17:42:38.381-07:00Born and Bread<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSCNW-WF7RIDi7Xm71dkcM6I-mEq40MSQnP1UeC6-UAx6b1uWQtkGEf90nBfRR2VUl84CHuE9RUVJqQ4Npaiv4Ff33bs_rb1simA-p1CwbJhPtmOQf4x9Iw21A2MtX535M57HBlE1Q5YPC/s1600-h/P180509_13.220001.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSCNW-WF7RIDi7Xm71dkcM6I-mEq40MSQnP1UeC6-UAx6b1uWQtkGEf90nBfRR2VUl84CHuE9RUVJqQ4Npaiv4Ff33bs_rb1simA-p1CwbJhPtmOQf4x9Iw21A2MtX535M57HBlE1Q5YPC/s400/P180509_13.220001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381106007390669986" border="0" /></a>At our AGM last year our ever enterprising Barry Midgley (member of <a href="http://www.yorkshiresculptorsgroup.org/">Yorkshire Sculptors Group</a>) suggested we take ourselves to the big smoke (<span style="font-style: italic;">i.e. Landan Daalin!</span>)<br /><br />But we were going to do it the Yorkshire way. Would we make our sculptures form the finest marble? or carve them from the finest ceadarwood? Nope - for us it would be the humble loaf.<br /><br />Hmm, well after much discussion we agreed to support each other through this challenging process. Each time we met up there were displays of the worlds tiniest loaf, bread which had been genetically spliced, holey bread and no bread but just groans of despair at the failure to be inspired by this more common yet complicated material.<br /><br />After many months of hmm'ing and haa'ing I was struck with an idea. I would leave my material is the hands of my estranged neighbours - if they responded I would have an object if not I would have work without the object - either way my neighbours were sure to be surprised and hopefully moved in some way by my actions.<br /><br />I wrote a letter of request for a slice of bread and the year and city of birth and posted it to 30 neighbours.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibmDkSykiinEH6IXflfEPAS39uPEEN18yHCXAklu01FSpzjUNub2YK0paD5O47jUOA_3CVMTGE-XvYuCQB1jtXEzJhHxyykzyhe31ee_Y3ZX5rA0YRevmLfAtYr78RzFzmLmDTzgBYxSy5/s1600-h/DSCN3551.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibmDkSykiinEH6IXflfEPAS39uPEEN18yHCXAklu01FSpzjUNub2YK0paD5O47jUOA_3CVMTGE-XvYuCQB1jtXEzJhHxyykzyhe31ee_Y3ZX5rA0YRevmLfAtYr78RzFzmLmDTzgBYxSy5/s400/DSCN3551.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381105999674356194" border="0" /></a> Everyday I skipped home wishing and hoping not for a cheque or a letter telling me I'd been selected but for a slice of bread.

They look like this:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz3AQokE6HLLff3Lsl07BmNy8BTO-J3E_Oy6q6_Dgi0CcO2lNKkK2IAZL7VLQ-ZQWJxm8y4qgP7ySqCX8ku2bwv_pwZqBEhToyTMrVWc7n5kl17Sv21vC_JS0vu2A_eAIpx5A_Wt_PYucY/s1600-h/DSCN2745.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz3AQokE6HLLff3Lsl07BmNy8BTO-J3E_Oy6q6_Dgi0CcO2lNKkK2IAZL7VLQ-ZQWJxm8y4qgP7ySqCX8ku2bwv_pwZqBEhToyTMrVWc7n5kl17Sv21vC_JS0vu2A_eAIpx5A_Wt_PYucY/s320/DSCN2745.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321597513586503298" border="0" /></a>Whilst at the college I wanted to develop the rejections that the public had submitted at the show last time. For months I have been pouring them through my mind, writing them out rewriting them, printing then in colour, taking some words and highlighting these, but it all seemed to be a waste of time because the material I was working with was much more precious that anything I could do to it. So I left it as it was and scanned the rejections which you can see online <a href="http://scannedrejections.blogspot.com/">here</a>.<br /><br />Which just left me and the sheep. On an early Spring afternoon in the Lake district the sheep and I went into a friends outdoor studio and had a look through what we had got so far. The materials from the rejections was great but it lacked anything visual, so the sheep and I decide to animate some of the stories. We took lots of photographs that afternoon.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnuIdZGuB6pn4Ddvzw2Eu3zHtHNMHenf6s257Fee-D0pBrp-qGitUj0NVsfHOMtS3ZeJJax1f7efU1f6VZyxqbMY2L0M16ORDrDa0WvKWE49yafKPlb_3Ds27jxV3BmVcaoAjVQ_4M2Gz/s1600-h/DSCN3399.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnuIdZGuB6pn4Ddvzw2Eu3zHtHNMHenf6s257Fee-D0pBrp-qGitUj0NVsfHOMtS3ZeJJax1f7efU1f6VZyxqbMY2L0M16ORDrDa0WvKWE49yafKPlb_3Ds27jxV3BmVcaoAjVQ_4M2Gz/s400/DSCN3399.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321602045086499890" border="0" /></a>I took these images back to the college and started to work with them in photo shop. I had been speaking with some of my peers at an artist crit session at <a href="http://www.psl.org">Project Space Leeds</a> and we talked about children's story books as a way making the whole rejection theme a lot more light hearted. When I would stay with my Nana in Dublin when I was young I'd watch loads of TV because she had extra channels. I loved the Clangers and their beautiful strange world. I thought these images should have some of this other worldliness about them. This then allows them to take on unearthly characters and they can speak and animate the rejections.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg3EImbP7ZVXKvjYQ6dWwnU7jw0GXrzcE3D1GjFs8cGmpHbKW-rrmsn-wgpkHI-9DL4PAJ30sKe8BC1f5g-1CW_48PZq-3Rl4AoTyA5M_VxH6mnGiNK4cUBN6RbybvODQkZyYGBa1QxMKQ/s1600-h/DSCN3401.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg3EImbP7ZVXKvjYQ6dWwnU7jw0GXrzcE3D1GjFs8cGmpHbKW-rrmsn-wgpkHI-9DL4PAJ30sKe8BC1f5g-1CW_48PZq-3Rl4AoTyA5M_VxH6mnGiNK4cUBN6RbybvODQkZyYGBa1QxMKQ/s400/DSCN3401.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321602050709127378" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I selected some of the statements from the rejections and use these as well as some prints I had made before to creat the final image. My residency was in the print room so I sought advise from the technicians and they suggested a CMYK seperation. That sounded good so I went about doing that. It took time to get everything together but once I got going I was thrilled with the results. I would make 10 of each image and when I had finished I would then select the best based on a criteria of well exectuted, bright, clear, not marked and central on the page.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUGhhAtVpo0FEEXdW0VlZSrK6o75obFk8QRZcKMwEf6DvIiP294kULLFQnzYsrWaYoLZN0kVXttCgoQnH8jadwEBSO4p7_z-IZEaghSuMlofINt5xk1NR_Y-v5pVJWYmHWhF6C1vyDGQwN/s1600-h/DSCN3396.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUGhhAtVpo0FEEXdW0VlZSrK6o75obFk8QRZcKMwEf6DvIiP294kULLFQnzYsrWaYoLZN0kVXttCgoQnH8jadwEBSO4p7_z-IZEaghSuMlofINt5xk1NR_Y-v5pVJWYmHWhF6C1vyDGQwN/s400/DSCN3396.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321602042417514450" border="0" /></a>Although I had a criteria, how it actually happen was this: Look at the first one, now look at the next -better or worse?

It is based on the idea of her previous work "gleichzeitig" , but this time it involves different artists from various art forms (dancers, musicians, live artists and visual artists) and explores different methods of structured improvisation within this exciting interdisciplinary setting.<br /><br />The performance was on the 14th August from 1-5 pm. The audience was invited to stay as long as they wanted or return as often as they liked to watch the performance develop.<br /><br />This work explores the awareness of the linearity of time and focusses on the process of layering. It presents the linear phases of a process as non-linear layers within the performance and preserves their discrete quality so that they can still be perceived as separate elements.<br /><br />"... I wonder, maybe, if time stacks vertically, and there is no past, present, future, only simultaneous layers of reality. We experience our own reality at a ground level. At a level, time would be elsewhere, we would be elsewhere in time."<br />(Jeanette Winterson)<br /><br />performing artists:<br />- Chemaine Cooke (dancer)<br />- Vanessa Grasse (dancer)<br />- Marie Hallager Andersen (dancer)<br /><br />- Sohail Khan (Performer and Live Artist)<br /><br />- Richard Ormrod (musician)<br />- Yvonna Magda (musician)<br /><br />- HB (visual artist)<br />- Rebecca Strain (visual artist)<br /><br />- Philippa Thomas (filmmaker)<br /><br />- Kathinka Walter (choreographer)Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192401559467329059.post-75026585828945370512008-06-14T17:53:00.000-07:002008-07-13T18:06:56.303-07:00Romance<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7o4ThB2vmp23ImpQNz09OMUCYOfFbLoSJJHCtJVUyPtfuZNMAYt_HG6FxqhMP9CVL7mc0puy7uOVoHR0rv7wTZinOf-Wd4LzjWxpmlWjKGkM467SnQdflpwJStkfPHX558emFdYu9SW3D/s1600-h/DSCN1950.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7o4ThB2vmp23ImpQNz09OMUCYOfFbLoSJJHCtJVUyPtfuZNMAYt_HG6FxqhMP9CVL7mc0puy7uOVoHR0rv7wTZinOf-Wd4LzjWxpmlWjKGkM467SnQdflpwJStkfPHX558emFdYu9SW3D/s320/DSCN1950.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222669941337104418" border="0" /></a><br />Romance 2008<br />The Bowery, Leeds<br />Handmade paper book<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“Many an Irish property was increased by the lace of a daughter's petticoat.” </span>Irish proverb<br /><br />Inspired by the romance and desire of lace I swapped using a plain net on frames to create a sheet of paper for doilies and patterned netting. Lace as a prized possession of Victorian ladies is now reproduced on mass and available in pound shops. Doilies, which once adorned the houses of the rich and beautiful, can now be purchased in paper format for a few pence. In this book I have used discarded paper to reinvent the romance of lace.Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192401559467329059.post-33307197473898702712008-02-08T14:18:00.000-08:002008-02-08T14:41:10.226-08:00Receipt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSLHzO2_QTxWi7MECajLk47X5jZfWc0_xrNia0dYfY-JkC4PkfDLApJbnMKey_WEHi4PDx2WPncrC5-rT7XJgzenBstDEMs3EENnnqgyzGsrjRny2K6aueXWIyoHWOU9XQN2Cl2gUdTWNs/s1600-h/DSCN1523.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSLHzO2_QTxWi7MECajLk47X5jZfWc0_xrNia0dYfY-JkC4PkfDLApJbnMKey_WEHi4PDx2WPncrC5-rT7XJgzenBstDEMs3EENnnqgyzGsrjRny2K6aueXWIyoHWOU9XQN2Cl2gUdTWNs/s320/DSCN1523.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164742505066593090" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reciept, 2007<br />Hammond's Cafe <br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">collated reciepts and illustration in carbon on paper</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><br /></span>I began accumulating my reciepts in March 2007 as a way of documenting my personal consumption of goods and services. As an artist I have worked with paper as a material, often using pulped paper to create sculpture and installation pieces. Through the process of papermaking the origin of the paper is often lost as it is destroyed to make a new material.<br /><br />In this series of work I had become more interested in the value of paper. As I continued to collate and document I began to look more closely at my feelings at the point when ownership of goods was transfered and at whether those feelings reflected how the product was marketed. After paying and receiving a reciept I documented my immediate feeling as a word on the receipt.<br /><br />Over six months I collected 57 receipts, not including the many bus and train tickets or items bought online. Of this collection I selected 16 receiptes that showed a range of experiences and strong feelings that relate to the point in time where I exchanged my money for goods and services which I may or may not have wanted or needed. I chose to present these in 'point of sale' Perspex displays enhanced by illustraions of my immediate feelings.<br /><br />There are a few remaining pieces for saleRebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192401559467329059.post-74774974167656236072008-02-02T06:28:00.000-08:002008-12-06T06:48:49.805-08:00Winged<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN_HydKGsyFlyVF-oONNELnKD_zaK0ZeLFjEPpCsVi_E3abIQFmmnzPSJTCRt4swfo-eCx08ngfFWqoxSseAGjgpRPDxQDV0xB5qxN5keK5FbhrRIolNDFQ1M3klVcAjmduBTitdYuuivY/s1600-h/Winged+clr.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162391968249740050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN_HydKGsyFlyVF-oONNELnKD_zaK0ZeLFjEPpCsVi_E3abIQFmmnzPSJTCRt4swfo-eCx08ngfFWqoxSseAGjgpRPDxQDV0xB5qxN5keK5FbhrRIolNDFQ1M3klVcAjmduBTitdYuuivY/s320/Winged+clr.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Winged<br />2007<br />Paper, Iron frame<br /></span><br />"I become timeless when I work with fiber.

The badges are the culmination of the artists' research undertaken in each area, and encapsulate their experiences. Monitor invited the public to navigate Leeds to collect the full set of badges.

Made from a remnant of cotton/linen material found at the bottom of a basket, bought just to save it from being left there, and paper pulp made from a few Big Issue magazines bought over the weeks to save a person or two from complete despair. <br />I slowly rip the pages into squares deconstructing the message and returning it to a collection of words on coloured paper.<br />The squares of torn paper are then submerged in warm water and for a few days until the print is diluted and starts to come away from the paper. I take the clean dry sheet of white material out of the paper bag and lower it into the vat of grey water and pulp. The change begins.<br />I raise it out of the liquid. I hook the sheet on two nails on the wall. It hangs dripping. I lift out some pulp from the vat and thrown it at the hanging sheet. I throw all of the paper pulp at it. I get an old bottle of black poster paint and pour it down it’s front.<br />It hangs there in my studio like a portal for negativity. I am aware of it slowly soaking up all the moisture, fusing the material, paper pulp and paint.<br />The material is now discoloured and rigid, the magazine is now illegible and its fibres agitated, the paint is now just darkness.<br />I join the bottom to the top with panel pins to create a cylindrical form, hollow with and inside and an outside. I have created a space. A headspace, a breathing space, and a space where I cannot see anything that is around me, but my own breasts and hands and legs and feet, inside a form that has become resistant to negativity.Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192401559467329059.post-71616962878505444452007-12-07T14:55:00.001-08:002008-07-13T18:13:26.424-07:00Confinment I and II<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSN93LIUbfOa09zdIi7YkO-4PJLHNtt_r2GAtAf3vnE-8VA_zezqg8zk2gBORYK_W7AVtRo0S0vs8_y98zO8cLjRKzVjJRH_A6_MCbYZrayyhL0jgWW-fmFr0EAJRiALyBisNGG3b3tCwG/s1600-h/untitled+1and2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 185px; height: 368px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSN93LIUbfOa09zdIi7YkO-4PJLHNtt_r2GAtAf3vnE-8VA_zezqg8zk2gBORYK_W7AVtRo0S0vs8_y98zO8cLjRKzVjJRH_A6_MCbYZrayyhL0jgWW-fmFr0EAJRiALyBisNGG3b3tCwG/s320/untitled+1and2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141368750640457874" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Confinement I</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Confinement II</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2004</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rebecca Strain</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Found yarns woven and braided, accumulated paper for 9 months<br />Confinement<br /><br />A decision,<br />Trapped, stuck, pinned,<br />Time to run away<br />Leave it behind, forget<br /><br />I cried just once,<br />The day before I went<br />And then for 3 months<br />Healed and breathed<br /><br />I swam and ran<br />Danced and played<br />Ate and drank and joked<br />And saw beauty<br /><br />Then back, back to it all,<br />Carpets and bills<br />And meals from frozen<br />Like nothing had happened<br /><br />The beach, the waves<br />The freedom<br />Remake my escape<br />Or live with confinement<br /><br /></span>Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192401559467329059.post-91023396581272223112007-12-07T14:53:00.001-08:002007-12-07T14:55:14.512-08:00Constructed II<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifmaxChSVlO9oqqGUhbKbK2aS2MPtW9k3KTblO2ETfbdIBoLeqhW8XRGKF5qFhw_36GvbTyoLTd_S7UDJWLaE5dnSIthA076S8Z-mOwTDMDpuJ7YyQdTh1N9c5OdU_xnFM3cpuNApgooOW/s1600-h/constructed+013.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifmaxChSVlO9oqqGUhbKbK2aS2MPtW9k3KTblO2ETfbdIBoLeqhW8XRGKF5qFhw_36GvbTyoLTd_S7UDJWLaE5dnSIthA076S8Z-mOwTDMDpuJ7YyQdTh1N9c5OdU_xnFM3cpuNApgooOW/s320/constructed+013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141368153640003714" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Constructed II</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2002</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rebecca Strain</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Braided nylon ropes</span>Rebecca Strainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06621619181199756120noreply@blogger.com0
