Submissions for August 2025.
Duplicate
I want to look through old photography to see if anything jumped out. I loved this character next to me at a coffee shop.
Seed Stitching
The past few weeks I've been duplicating tiny seed stitches. I've lost count of how many I've attached to this calico background. Hundreds? Definitely. Maybe more than a thousand. My fingertips certainly believe so anyway!
Secret Desire
I have been thinking about these repetitive hearts that you can find on eeeeeeevery corner of Burgas. They have awaken a secret Desire inside of me. To go around and duplicate my thoughts across the city. Not like Banksy, but like me.
Sing for Me
A short film centred around a week-long retreat into the woods with a collection of musicians, dancers, and artists, all of whom but 2 were strangers to me.
Going Over Old Things
I recently experimented with double-exposure photography. The first exposures of the film were exclusively well-lit flowers in front of a black background. The second round of exposures were portraits of people in my life. These are a few of my favourites.
Figs
Duplicates in nature - mono screen print with acrylic paints. A painting of some figs and fig leaves in my parent's garden - my home-home.
Print tests
I took some time this month to be playful with existing and new linocut prints whilst I developed a new design for a shop. I combined elements in a way I don’t usually, creating new forms from smaller blocks rather than one continuous design. It was natural to repeat designs, creating lines of bold floral forms.
Peace comes with patience
Part of a narrative series based on Syngué Sabour, Persian folklore about a magical stone with the power to absorb your secrets and woes.
A View From a Window
After endless ideas, trials and fails with what I wanted to create. I looked out my window one day and witnessed a moment in time that made me look back at my past and forward to my future. Currently riding through a nostalgia wave, I find myself hopeful and excited for what I can duplicate one day.
My Uncle James
Mitosis Mitoshka My Aunt Me My uncle James
The Long Water
Rows of trees reflect upon The Long Water. Each side of the river mirrors the other.
Sing for Me
A short piece of music through-composed for a documentary about a camp I went to this month. I tried to "Duplicate" the style of some artists I learnt a little about, as well as put to use the learnings I had done when I was off fiddling in the woods.
DUPLICATE
I was heavily inspired by Steve Reich's 'phase' pieces, where a player or players play two identical lines on two instruments slightly out of phase. This creates interesting rhythmic patterns as the two lines 'phase' in and out with each other. I attempted to recreate this effect, by 'duplicating' the same synth line at slightly different tempos. I then added a synth bassline to try and round out the piece and make sense of the rhythmic chaos.
Monstera Neglectus
3 studies of my usually dehydrated studio plant over the course of 2 months
MY NANS 80TH BIRTHDAY CARD (V1&V2)
Stretching it a bit here, but, I re-drew my Nan's 80th birthday card, creating a duplicate (of sorts).
