1951

This reminds me of a style that goes with the fifties. It is pre sixties… it may be forties? What is it about certain patterns that link them to eras?

Printing Circle

image

The ever present battle with pixels. I battle with them, but also accept them, they are brush strokes of sorts. I have tried to enhance the image that came off the iPhone. How does it look? I think it will print up well after this fiddle, click to enlarge.

Later:

I printed both and the one straight off the iphone was better. Printing took care of the pixelation quite well. Mind you I am printing these images about 12cm wide on A4 paper.

Avatars change who we are

The “sig” series I am doing, and there are a lot of them, are with a consciousness of the importance of identity and how the relationship with an avatar is reciprocal.  Signing images I make is a work in process.  I have signed some on the computer, but mostly I print them and sign and date them on the day of printing.  I think of it as marking the making of the physical object. 

More and more I want to sign them as I make them.  One way or the other?  Right now it could be anything! These Sig images, made on the iphone are printing well.  I sign them again.  Just WL and the date, in pencil.

But the alchemy of the avatar is still at work, and the change is not done.  I amight be a bit old for this sort of adolescent exploration… but that is the way it is!  As an artist I am young.

“Who we choose to be in turn shapes how we behave,” Yee writes in the draft paper. “While avatars are usually construed as something of our own choosing – a one-way process – the fact is that our avatars come to change who we are.”

In Treatment

It has been fun, but also frustrating to watch “In Treatment” and to see the therapist, Paul Weston (Gabriel Byrne), not following his patients. To see him have poor supervision, have poor insight into his own life & relationships and clueless about relationship therapy. (Its only TV, and I am intrigued by the programme, I wish somone could make a movie with good therapy in it).

It shows some good moments, but sadly it misses the mark of giving accurate insight into therapy. The acting is good, but all too frequently the dynamics become ingongruent, I cease to suspend dis-belief and see the writer, and director coming through.  Unfortunately the poor practice and poor supervision may be all too accurate, though I think we do better in New Zealand where personal therapy & supervision are standard practice for psychotherapists.
