Don't tell anyone I showed you this, but here's a sneaky peek at the new thing…
-
Demonstration of the careful work-in-progress management for which I am famed
-
Just realised that I never showed you the full glory of this installation. Feast your eyes on all 15 of the baubles lit at once
-
OK, I have now rendered 23 sheets of correx into 318 pieces. As predicted, the tabletop has taken a beating…
-
The cutting has begun for the next big project. This tabletop will be wrecked by the time I’m finished. Still, “eggs, omelettes” as Andy always says…
-
Did you guess what was in the pan? So, excitingly, nylon cable glands dye really well with ordinary fabric dye.
This way I get to keep a big stock of grey ones and choose later what I need for a project. Also, using dye is fun and makes you feel like you're a witch.

Practicing alchemy in the studio today!
-
Shit’s getting serious: I’ve had to break out the big tabletop…
-
Yes, if you guessed "giant animated xmas tree baubles", then you win a lollipop and/or a tiny rubber duck
-
Now that I'm starting to wrap the forms, the plan should hopefully be more apparent…
-
After a mass of measuring, cutting, pulling, soldering and sealing, we have 77 outdoor-rated "neon" pixel tape runs ready to be wrapped around the willow shapes
Props to Jay, who made all of the cables, came into the studio to do the pulling with me, and then soldered up all of the ends before I sealed them
-
All 15 frames are made! Can you guess what they are yet?
-
I was fully expecting shape 7, aka "the bell", to be a real problem – it has the hardest bend in it – but it has come together first go!
I may make another cup of tea to celebrate
-
Shape 6 may be my favourite – there is something so elegant about it. Not sure what to call it… a slender lemon?
-
Behold! Through an insanely long and drawn-out process – involving two kinds of willow, fabric dye and a Python script – I have succeeded in creating a ball
-
The Stokey tree is now lit! So pleased to be able to do this again this year with logistical support from Hackney Council’s streets team.
-
More stars today, as our installation Twinkle went back up outside the arts centre next to our studio for the 4th year running.
-
So today I was mostly decorating a large (growing) fir tree in Stokey for the winter celebrations, with my Output Arts hat on. The big star at the top is one of our LED stars, the rest of the decorations are a long star festoon decorated by members of the local community.

Ok, still working out what my #fediverse posting is gonna look like, so here’s an #outputarts #workinprogressart shot of a *very* xmassy new #lightart piece
