Hello Ambit people, there were 44 e-mails in my inbox, so I haven't diligently read them all yet, just had a quick look, however, by way of an introduction ...
I'm Cath Whippey, living in Glasgow and back and forth to Orchardton House, an artists' community in Dumfries and Galloway where I have connections and have created some work - including 'OTV' a temporary public art work in the form of a tv station in collaboration with artist Chris Helson at Orchardton Arts Festival, as a DGAA commission in a cafe in Castle Douglas and at the 2ND artists' Symposium in Bourne Suliniwo in Poland; A Commission to make new work for 'Subverted Suburbia' a touring show from Dumfries and Galloway Council; and new animation pieces 'Lip' and 'Wig and noses and ...' made at the 'US Arts Festival' this August. You can see these last two at <http://www.orchardton.org/art.html> I completed The Bristol Animation Course in June this year, a three month course were I specialised in learning traditional 3D animation skills - I came to animation about two years ago working on a self taught basis, my first pieces involving using knitted animals 'Bear wears his new bear outfit' and 'Bloodbath', you may have seen these at the 'Subverted Suburbia' or Transmission members shows last year. I'm currently working on a pilot collaborative animation project with artist Jo Hodges, a small group of pupils in a new community school and Linda Mallett, the public art development officer in North Ayrshire. My work over the past couple of years work has been video based, live action and animation, exploring transformation and body modification. Super hero and special powers, jekkyl and hyde, battles of good and evil are all continuing interests. So, cheers for now, Cath. ------------------------------------------------- a m b i t : networking media arts in scotland post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] info: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and write "info ambit" in the message body -------------------------------------------------
