MY WARES FOR SALE IN THE WORLD PIECE MAKER SHOP

WORLD PIECE FOR SALE
Old Tin Globe Jewellery and a Poem About Utopia.

Studio flat bus: A rent free living and working space to give me more time for projects to assist with the Emergency.

My main project is a book: Art of Climbing Trees – based on a diary that I kept for a year in 2010-11. During this time I climbed a tree every day and I had conversations in trees with over 80 people in ten different countries. It continues to be a walkabout and it is my slow offering in response to urgent times. The project website is artofclimbingtrees.net and instagram.

Other past and current projects include some of the following...

Rebel For... (2019)
Music: Mesadorm
Hand: Ross Styants
Guy: Me (and editor)
Sea cam 1st unit: Jacob Parish

If you can spare a further 90 seconds then turn the sound up and watch this film – made in collaboration with David Bekkevold. It's getting old but it's still one of my favourites:

Our Satisfying Conclusion (2012)

I've been making layered prints using a block carved by an unknown master carpenter in Jaipur (who I'm eager to trace), and inspired by the rings of the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree, (that students set on fire in 2010, in protest of new tuition fees). It's a tree that I climbed before it was cut down in Nordmarka, Oslo.

I'll be exhibiting these when they're ready.

I've been writing this book for several years now so every now and again I'll get the urge to design a new cover. These are three of them.

The first of these features a beautiful illustration by artist Anna Widen. We also climbed a tree together and our conversation will be found in the book.

More bits of design I've done for work and pleasure here.

In case we fail...

I only have one hobby which is playing with sounds. I started The Moon Responded by fiddling around with a music app on my phone. Five years, six music programs and several collaborators later and I decided the piece was finished enough. Rewilder is the project name for this hobby music; it's my 'band' name, and someone who rewilds is a role I'd like to promote.

The video has been made using many of the 3300 photographs of circles I took between 2013-2018 and features the beautiful close up footage Woody James shot for a short film I've yet to complete.

Other mixes / versions:
Janis Sokolovskis mix (2017), and The Moon Responded (50% slower):

The Gauntlett Institute's science activities bunker is hidden, but their website is not private.

For the last five years I've worked alongside Professor Gauntlett, documenting his and his colleague's achievements.

The first time I watched actors do a walk through of The Last Line, it bent my head open a bit.

It's not new any more and it needs rewriting but I like it. After several years work on this I started on the screenplay:

INC. screenplay, based on The Last Line - gathering dust.

Acracia. Another screenplay gathering dust.

The Butterfant and the Elephly

Children's story collaboration with Kaia Ødegaard and Sissel Helene Ringstad.

Children's story for Sophie

You can't read these books yet, I'm just showing off my prolific procrastination.

I like wikipedia.
Wikireadings is a project I got excited about and then had to set aside (for the time being?)
