Flourish at Harrington Mills Studios, British Art Show Fringe

Flourish at Harrington Mills Studios, British Art Show Fringe

During this residency, Fi was drawing and mark-making in the flour gardens using items found in the kitchen cupboard and around the house.

It was important to Fi that the mark-making was both spontaneous and ritualistic to evoke the feeling and philosophies behind Japanese Zen gardens.

This residency built on Fi’s other works Ruminate and Reader’s Digest and provided a platform for looking at both the ephemerality and permanence of thoughts.

Throughout the residency, Fi produced both large and small-scale images; some of which will form the content for the artist’s book .

Ruminate

Ruminate

Ruminate playfully reflects on the idea that everyday thinking, just like the daily slice can become habitual and the ‘wisdom’ eaten and ‘ingested’ without question, yet the number of contradictory proverbs that exist in all cultures highlight the infinite number of ways we could choose to make and eat the daily bread.

Ruminate is a sequence of images that lead from one to another as a literal or implied narration unfolds

The King is Dead

A short drama “A married woman is nothing but trouble…the King is Dead“ The story of a loner named Sid, a man who detaches himself from the real world and sinks into an existence of romantic television and his own off-ball thoughts. His rapidly growing fantasies attempt to manifest his life-long desire to be loved.

Produced by Fi on a budget of £500 with a cast of 4 and crew of 6

Ruminate

Ruminate

Ruminate playfully reflects on the idea that everyday thinking, just like the daily slice can become habitual and the ‘wisdom’ eaten and ‘ingested’ without question, yet the number of contradictory proverbs that exist in all cultures highlight the infinite number of ways we could choose to make and eat the daily bread.

Ruminate is a sequence of images that lead from one to another as a literal or implied narration unfolds

Ruminate can be seen in film and image form as part of the Synapse Festival. Ruminate is a play on ‘you are what you eat’ and that  ‘man cannot live by bread alone’.

Empty Mind

Empty Mind

A new edit of Empty Mind was screened by the BBC at Glastonbury 2010.  See the original video.

Empty Mind explores the relationship between life and water by focusing on martial arts. Empty Mind represents different frames of mind and their influences on physical energy; it also reflects on the cyclical ever-changing aspects of the water cycle. Empty Mind was partly inspired by the following words, which have been attributed to Bruce Lee.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. If you put water in a cup it becomes the cup, if you put water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot….Now water can flow or it can crash! Be water my friend! – Bruce Lee

It relates to how all things change either through time or perception. Correlation 360 is also available on DVD as part of the Critical Mass collection on the Threshold Studio’s ebay shop.

Correlation 360 was directed, produced and edited by Fi. Soundtracks composed by Geoff Litherland.


Penyschnant Gallery, Northwales

Penyschnant Gallery, Northwales

Delighted to have Truth Without Words included in Penyschnant's first exhibition in Summer 2024. This is a hidden gem of a place nestled in the Carneddau mountains in North Wales.

From Instagram

I laugh at myself sometimes (actually a lot!), my first visit to a hide in a proper bird watching place (Burtonmere wetlands) and I'm loving everything about the experience - the birds, the sounds, the tranquility, the meditative nature of it all. So
Here's Larry and Andy enjoying being part of Chester's first Photo Festival. It's all over now but it sounds like it will be back next year. Thanks to Alex and the team for organising such a successful and gargantuan event.

Post includes 2 reposts.
If you love photography and can get to Chester, I recommend checking out Chester's First Photo festival
@chesterphotofestival

It's a festival that seeks to celebrate the democratisation of photography as an art, enabling photographers at all levels
More collaging of Kant going on! Debating whether to add in one of my poems about trees... Too much?!
