#metamorphogram — Public Fediverse posts

So, I left the failed origami model in the sun for an hour or two, then opened it and washed it.

Not the best picture as it's still wet. I'll post more about it later.

That DNA model reminds me of Spring Into Action (Jeff Beynon). I folded it as a cyanotype #metamorphogram called Spring Sprung. It was a model for several months before becoming this picture.

Experimenting with pattern layout. A new work about #culturalmemory.

It's made from 84 individual #origami #cyanotype images ( #metamorphogram ).

Combined they make new patterns and represent ideas of shared #memory, particularly of #Portuguese blue tiles ( #azulejos ).

Also, the connections they make show that shared memories are the building blocks of families, communities and cultures.

I'm at the centre for interpretation of vinho verde in Ponte de Lima, Portugal. I'm installing several hundred origami cranes as cyanotype images (#metamorphogram) in the shape of a river - the river Lima, which is about 100m away.
This is just the beginning, so very much a #WIPWednesday post!

Another version - Six Degrees of Separation - was installed as part of the LOOK Photobiennial 2019.

Refers to role of memory in building individual and cultural relationships.

Accompanied by a wall piece entitled 'Friends and Acquaintances'.

Pay ZERO
But at least it was a public-funded gallery, and we had a good, supportive long-term relationship afterward

How fast can you fold orizuru?

I am making an installation which will use about 500-700 orizuru. Each is made from cyanotype coated tissue paper or rice paper. After a while they turn into pictures. They are #metamorphogram images. They will be hung in this form.

This is not a good origami paper, so I'm going at 20-30 per hour!

Some more cyanotypes from the last few days. It's not been sunny, but enough UV light gets through the clouds to drive the reaction.

Having said that, some of these exposures run into days...

I have been back making cyanotypes.

Each of of these cyanotypes is a literal memory (as defined by my first philosophy of memory publication!).

Artist life has been hard lately. No change there, really, but it helps to make things.

A little toot on my own trumpet...

The 10 images in the series 'The Scar Is Not The Memory' will be for sale as part of the 12x12 Festival in Lisbon, 7-10 December.

Everything in the festival is just €25 each.

There will be an online catalogue available shortly.

Find 12x12 on Insta here: https://www.instagram.com/1_2_x_1_2/

The Scar Is Not The Memory. Metamorphogram, silk thread.

First in a series.

Unfolding origami, folds remain, like scars gained in the process.

But a scar is a mnemonic, not a memory.

Here, the memory (cyanotype + origami = metamorphogram; a visible memory) and scars overlap.

Sometimes, the process of becoming is so tough that stitches are needed to repair the damage.

My piece for the Mnemosyne show at gallery AL859 in Porto.

The 2nd picture shows how it was exposed - as an origami cyanotype made of 30 individual pieces.

The 3rd picture shows all the developed individual images opened out.

The exhibited composition reflects how our unique experiences of the same event come together to give us a new, shared, social memory.

This is 'crumple' origami. Used a lot by French origamists 'Le CRIMP'.

Thin, crisp paper (here tracing paper) is folded and then crushed. The process allows the paper to be shaped into flexible, organic forms.

This paper was coated in cyanotype. The form I made was exposed in the sun for 10 minutes, and developed.

If I hadn't put my fingers through the wet paper it would be good!

I've been interviewed about my background, process, cyanotypes, origami, memory and more.

You can watch it here (18 mins):

(Disclosure: Subcultours facilitate artist workshops, and invited me to join them)

I hate being in front of the camera, so this is a rare occurrence. And... is there anyone out there who likes the sound of their own voice?

This is the 'Spreading Hexagons' tessellation, by Eric Gjerde.

I folded it from 200gsm watercolour paper coated with cyanotype chemicals.

It sat outside almost five days.

Long exposure pushes cyanotype blue into a golden-greenish blue instead.

I like how the edges of the folds have described a multiplicity of hexagons.

Origami is cool.

Sometimes you make things for sheer curiosity.

I've been trying tessellated origami forms for a while. This one is appealing as it is easy to fold and fun to play with.

I folded it from a sheet of watercolour paper coated with cyanotype.

It went outside for a day or so.

When developed, it looked like the final picture.

So now I know. Curiosity sated. Until next time.

Four potential compositions for the 30 cyanotypes that used to be a single origami form.

Should they become a collage or... revert to form?

Let me know which one works for you.
