My friends Edwin Pouncey and Chris Long, collectively Battle of the Eyes, are among the artists showing at UNSTABLE at the Maggs Gallery, until 8th June (a splendid catalogue can be downloaded, here).
The author and polymath S.F. Said (Varjak Paw) also has some London's Lost Rivers photographs on show upstairs at the gallery and was at the Private View, taking wonderful large format Polaroids of the artists with an antique bellows camera.
Here are some of my own modest attempts to follow suit, with portraits of some of the fine people I met there, using only a very slightly antique iPhone 4:
Battle of the Eyes, a.k.a. Eyeball and Savage Pencil, a.k.a. Chris Long and Edwin Pouncey
Musician, Peter Hope Evans, formerly of Medicine Head, who coincidentally attended the same grammar school that I did, though we didn't overlap at all.
Exhibiting artist, Cathy Ward, whose drawing, Gloriend, features on the cover of the Unstable catalogue.
Dylan Carlson, lead guitarist of Earth.
A Magrittesque Jill Tipping, graphic designer and cake maker extraordinaire.
S.F. Said, who as well as photographing the exhibiting artists, also kindly also made these wonderful Polaroid portraits of Gia Cavalli and yours truly.
Gia Cavalli, with S.F.'s shot of her ankle tattoo.
Writer, publisher, curator and Unstable co-host, Mark Pilkington of Strange Attractor. Looking forward to the documentary film companion to his book, Mirage Men.
I have been so immersed in finishing the fourth and final London 2012 mascot film that my 'other stuff' has been somewhat neglected of late. So, let the catching up begin!
Several shots taken with an iPhone4 and superimposed together with AutoStitch Panorama, though with no panorama involved, obviously. Probably a little TiltShift vignetting and XProcessing, too.
Former WWII Ministry of Information; inspiration for George Orwell's Ministry of Truth in Nineteen Eighty-Four and apparently, Hitler's intended London HQ, had his invasion plans succeeded. Now the admin centre for the University of London.
