My curtains have made a camera obscura of the flats opposite. It’s going to be sad to leave. Where shall I go? I just need to be near-ish an airport and fairly cheap. By the coast is a bonus.

I am thinking of doing a practice-based phd in art/film based on this Revenants series of work I have been doing for a few years now. Any advice/encouragement/discouragement appreciated!

Dark Aberrations: Broken Horizons. A3 Giclée print on archival 300gsm photo rag, signed edition of 20+2 APs. Shot on 35mm expired film on a half frame toy holga, multiple exposures, worlds on worlds. Available to purchase. £125 unframed + pp with 20% off (so £100) throughout August. DM for info.

Framed giclée print of a Colorado mountain landscape in strange dark but vivid colours. Multiple exposures and sprocket slips mean reflections layer onto reflections so it’s unclear what is real, what is mountains, what is clouds.the frames of the photo break it up, and marks in the film emulsion look like birds. The picture is grainy and fades from golds to reds to indigo blues.

It's all gone a bit Heath Robinson in the shed. Working on the next video for my band @tirs.bsky.social - with thanks to @sapphiregoss.bsky.social for the inspiration (and I hope I've gone off on enough of a tangent).

Thanks! Yes sometimes you have to push it a lot, depends how the reel has been stored and how old it is. I need to try and do reversal too but i tried it with a foma kit once and messed up the re exposure bit so a bit scared!
