The Rough Side Of The Mountain

The following stills are taken from an audiovisual installation called Topologies, crafted by the London-based Quayola. It's well worth checking out his planar shapeshifting videos, which strangely remind me of the indie gaming sensation Minecraft.







I'd love to incorporate some abstract elements into the piece I'm currently working on -- an illustration for an upcoming exhibition based around the theme of the brain -- but it's definitely something that lies outside my comfort zone. We'll see how things turn out.

Last night I dreamt that someone took $70 worth of recently purchased BFK Rives and crumpled it into a crude parcel. A subconcious reminder of both my upcoming exhibition deadlines and artistic unproductivity.
