Ellen Altfest


Ellen Altfest | 2005 | Tumbleweed | oil on canvas | 107 x 132 cm
blurb: Working from life rather than photos, Ellen Altfest’s paintings exude an experiential quality: capturing the transference the impact of looking as it becomes imprinted in memory, she replicates her personal engagement with the objects as a tangible sensation on her canvas. Tumbleweed offers a cosmos of this ethereal state. Stranded between representation and intuitive painterly indulgence, Altfest proposes a vision of quiet contemplation, rendering a bewildering beauty from the study of the simplest things.

Ellen Altfest | Two Logs | 2005 | oil on canvas | 48 x 71 cm
blurb: Ellen Altfest’s Two Logs mesmerises as a feat of monumental concentration. Bordering on abstraction, her still-life becomes lost in its own representation, each detail independently captured becomes a reverie of its reproduction in paint. Consumed by the making, Altfest uses her simple subject as a departure into an inner consciousness, allowing her gestures to form as unmediated psychological response to the scene. Flirting between reality and dream state, her work conveys an impalpable ambience through the luxurious materiality of her surfaces.

Towards atemporality in news reports

The way in which news reports place events within time can shift emphasis away from the temporal - events as they unfold; towards the atemporal - the invariant structures underlying events.

Cathy Curtis on writing for the web


Help readers scan. Use subheadings to break up text. Use em-dashes to break up large sentences. Write plainly and transparently. Organise website and webpage in a visually logical way.

Ross Racine on digital drawing and his depictions of urban structure

Digital drawing allows flexibility and speed, and an ambiguity between drawing and photography.


William Gibson on recombinants (collage, cut-ups, remixes, mash-ups)


Gibson promotes recombinants - where samples of various works are cut out of found compositions and recombined in new works. With recombination, meaning becomes a matter of adjacent data, of relationships between elements of data. The process of recombination is becoming more important than the object (the record, the product) thereby created at a given moment.
