I have been thinking about cyclic animations I’ve already made, and mutating, changing and evolving them.
The natural world is one of cycles evolving over hours, days, years…
.
Today I meet again with animator Carolin Huf, who is looking into Darwin’s evolutionary ideas.
Christine McMillan looks at the changing cycles in the regeneration of grasses where she lives, in response to climate changes.
.
Jack Colwell has composed sounds in response to words from Jack Ward’s diary. We are looking at these evolving into a series of sound cycles.

All at once, opportunities to work with others seem to be offering themselves up.

When asked to co-author a paper with another artist/researcher,
On 9 August 2007 Simon says:
…Working with someone else should help you understand more about your own practice and its context. You never know where these things will lead.
First step is to see if you can (collaboratively) focus on some particular aspect of your research that will feed into other components of your work. Maybe even just the notion of change – what change is. The tension between change and cycle…
Best wishes
Simon
The same would apply to practice based collaborations.
Hi Lisa,
I’m at Bathurst today bringing over works. As I was walking around the outside of the gallery from the loading bay to the front I was thinking of ways to get our collaboration moving. The following our web sites is invaluable but I was also thinking that I would be good to have a face to face meeting say once a month. How does November sound to start with.
Working and developing a concept that binds ‘us’ together, aiming for an exhibition and applying for funding all on the list of things to do.
Christine,
Trusting things go well with you for the Bathurst exhibition.
Meeting with you once a month is an excellent idea. Let’s do that.
In the meantime, I continue making cycles.
