‘Reflections’ a digital exhibition of projected artwork

Andy's funky artistic impression of the High Street and exhibition.

I have to say this is an awsome project to work on and its the people im working with who are making it so. AIMs (Art In Minds) is a voluntary organisation which is run by professional artists who have had or have mental health issues. As a group they are the kindest, most helpful people i've ever had to work with and together we have created:

‘Reflections’ a ground-breaking digital exhibition of projected artwork which is possibly the first of its kind in Worcester. The exhibition will offically open on Monday 26th October and run until Sunday 1st November and is being held as part of Worcester’s World Mental Health Day celebrations.

Members of AIMs (Art in Minds) will see their artistic endeavours projected through a large screen in a currently empty shop window in Worcester High Street, directly above the H & M store and as the exhibition will be opposite Hodsons everyone can take a seat have a lovily coffee or bite to eat and watch the exhibition at their leisure..

Some of the very talented artists work is for sale and there will be a catalogue on the website once the exhibtion starts.

Yoke and Zooms Tea Party and Ansel Adams!

On Saturday we went on adventure to a tea party not any ordinary tea party but one in a little thatched cottage / caravan on wheels parked in the foyer of The New Art Gallery - Walsall / Birmingham.

Yoke and Zoom the artists in residence aka Nina and Alex devised the idea of creating a mobile cottage industry after buying a 1957's caravan on ebay.

Now that the cottage has been created it is ready to tour as an ongoing artwork and they have set up a blog to show the journey.

Yoke and Zoom ask and question, 'The cottage questions the politics of home ownership, making its home in a public space, both in rural and urban environments.

Is the stability of the ideal home threatened by its possibility for sudden departure?

Does this cottage provide an example of micro-utopian situation that could be affordably duplicated?'

Personally having grown up with caravanning parents and remembering their first caravan not too dissimilar I felt at home, comforted and have always felt a caravan is a home away from home, having lived in a caravan, a van and traveled for years I’ve been shown home is where your heart is and your heart is in your body!!


It was a lovely tea party with great scones, jam and cream. We really enjoyed and by way of making it more of a magical experience, the others said you have to go and see the rest of the gallery which in itself is just awesome. So Vinny and I went up to the top floor and there in front of me was an exhibition of Ansel Adams best works.

I was totally blown away, his work up close was awe inspiring, his technical ability, his understanding of shadow and light, and his composition all the work of a master and here I was standing in front of large originals off the negative in awe just in awe. And what really hit me was a reminder of something I have understood about digital and film. There is such a big difference, film is textured and has tangible depth and digital is clinical made from pixels and modern. Both have a place and both are so very different, we must never loose film as we run into the digital age.

Ansel Adams works - I never thought I’d see his work in real life what an amazing experience and a total must for any budding photographer or lover of photography.

The exhibition goes on until the 31st of August http://www.artatwalsall.org.uk/
