tekkie question...

does anyone know about photographic printing on metal sheet?

I've been thinking again about these injury images... it has always bugged me because i've never really felt i've resolved how to present them. I had riginally framed them but it didn't feel very considered or intrinsic to the idea...

They are images that really underpin a lot of what I do. I had to send one off for an exhibition i'm in later in the year, and once again it reared a nagging doubt that the work is just not finished. so i'm exploring a return to them. I also perhaps want to put myself in the pictures, anonymously, I think it has always felt wrong that I have taken the pictures of other people and i want to get inside the process more. I like the idea of the privacy and autonomy of taking the image myself of myself, but nobody actually needs to know that...

Or does anyone have any other thoughts on presenting photographs? I'd also had an idea of having it as a dvd still so the tv becomes the frame, like a documentary? I'd imagined an ordinary portible tv not a flashy plasma screen...

Sorry i've been absent, I've not been very confident about my thoughts, internalising them. But then on sunday I got into a discussion with the jewellery group i'm involved in and when I started talking I realised I had made progress in my mind, without realising it. Time to open up again i guess!

Arrgghh it is actually happening and a possibilty to write a proposal for a group show to submitt to the university of hertfordshire

today we have been served notice to vacate our studio spaces by the 30th Septmber. we are unsure if the council will give us another place to go to in the interim period whilst the trust trys to arrange funding to develop a build of purpose built studios here in stevenage. this project if it goes ahead would possibly take three years if not more.

i feel so disconnected at the moment. the folk in my studios are pleasant to be around but are not the most inspiring driving force which is what I feel when i meet up with all of you.

my motivation has died. i feel the arts in stevenage is some kind of rude word.

Nevertheless an opportunity has arisen to raise a submission for the university of hertfordshire galleries. I was wondering if anyone would like to collaborate in a group kind of happening???
or should i put forward a submission of my own work?
the deadline for submissions is the 5th may.

let me know what you think.
