HELLO FUTURE! TALENT'S ARCHIVE...

...opened at Onassis Cultural Centre, Athens today! I've filled a sketchbook for the show full of current ideas, spirograph drawings and hand printed C-Type photographs.  

The exhibition will showcase a number of sketchbooks created by artists curated by Double Decker, London.

WORKING ON MY HELLO FUTURE ARCHIVE SKETCHBOOK...

I seem to have accumulated more images than first realised. Brilliant, lots of paper scraps on my living room floor - however (as a fan of 'the sketchbook'), I'm enjoying the project. More images soon.

"Helen McGhie’s Cavity from the series “(M)other”  leans towards the nonfigurative while observing all the details." - Zsolt Bátori, PH21 Gallery Director

SKETCHBOOK ARRIVAL - HELLO FUTURE ARCHIVE PROJECT @ ONASISS CULTURAL CENTRE NEXT YEAR

Okay, there are lots of pages to fill here. I was recently invited to take place in the project, to fill up a sketchbook which will become part of the Onasiss Cultural Centre's collection, exhibited with a bunch of other artist sketchbooks. Pretty exciting - I want to explore fragments of photographs, work a little messier than usual (it is a sketchbook after all) I hope to evoke a sense of friction.

Planning to document the work as it develops, will post here soon.

NOISE FESTIVAL WINNER: 'CRADLE' IS ELAINE CONSTANTINE'S CURATOR CHOICE

Noise festival launched at the House of Commons last week. More information about festival events are online 

http://noisefestival.com/festival/2014/events/launch.

"Decay, decline, death: things we would all rather not have to engage with but which impose themselves on us all in the end - gently summed up in Helen's interior and still life. Most photographers would have overlooked the cobwebs and dead flies for something more obvious." 
- Elaine Constantine, 2014
