#whist wright

[oldmke]

In the late 1800s and early part of the 20th century hundreds of associations, societies, and clubs of various kinds were being founded all over the city. Singing societies-the Liederkranz, the Arions, the Deutscher Mannerverein-gave Milwaukee vocalists an opportunity to perform, most often in German. Recreational clubs were formed for such sports as bicycling, cricket, lawn tennis and whist. And center stage on the social scene were clubs such as the Deutscher club (now the Wisconsin club), the Calumet club , the Milwaukee club, the Milwaukee country club and (pictured above) the Millioki club, at what is now N. 1st and W. Wright sts. In addition to enjoying sociability with their fellows, members looked forward to special events sponsored by the various clubs throughout the year, the Deutscher club's annual Bachelor's ball, for example. Although several of the clubs still hold the spotlight on the Milwaukee social scene, many have long since gone their way; the Calumet clubhouse on N. 9th was purchased for the old museum in 1924 (and has since been torn down); the Millioki club gave way to Prospect Lodge No. 135 of the Knights of Pythias in 1920.

ANDY MACDERMOT created by @s-s-southsideserpentine

Blurb:

“So, uh, what was it like growing up with my dad?” Robbie asked his uncle. Ever since Andy Macdermot shows up on the front porch four days ago, Robbie had a lot of questions. Andy wasn’t at all like his older brother, Russell was loud and boisterous, whereas Andy was more of a wallflower. He had a certain quality about him that Robbie couldn’t help but feel drawn to like he was looking at a future version of himself.

“Your dad was….” Andy paused for a moment, running a hand through the wisps of his stringy gray-blonde hair, “He was a lot? Always was the big man on campus, with the prettiest girl on his arm. The polar opposite of what I was” The man laughs, picking absentmindedly at the loose string along the hem of his flannel shirt.

Robbie sits up a little straighter, suddenly taking a bit more interest in the conversation. His dad never did all that much talking about his high school days, and he mentioned his younger brother even less. “Well…what were you like when you were my age then?”

Andy laughs to himself for a moment, like he was suddenly taken aback by the a washing of unpleasant memories about his adolescence. “You know, I wasn’t a cool guy at all. Ever — not like your dad. I was too tall and too skinny; all ears and no discernible personality.” He chuckled and looked over at the corner of the basement where Robbie’s well-worn drum kit sat. “I got really into horror movies and had started using our dad’s camcorder to make these shitty little videos where I melted my old toys with our dad’s blowtorch…classic nerd shit”

Andy is chill, talented, and personable. Go give him some love!

CHARLOTTE ANA NAVERRO created by @potterpumpkins

“A Spanish girl with exceptional sass, a guarded heart, and a penchant for putting fuckboys and Slytherins in their place.”

Quotev profile

So much thought, research, and detail has gone into the creation of Charlotte, and it shows. She’s complex, and shows growth over the years, she’s a character you want to read more and more about! Go give her some love!

CRASH THOMPSON created by @vannahsunshine

Character Introduction

Crash is a lovable, joyous, helpful man. He loves his kids (and best friend) and he’s trying his best. Go give him some love!

DEREK “WHIST” WRIGHT created by @humangrumpycat

Character Intro

Blurb:

'Need some company?'

Uma turns around, her hand clutching her chest.

'Derek,' she sighs. 'Never sneak up on a woman like that again.'

'My bad,' he chuckles with his hands raised. 'I thought you heard me coming.'

She sighs, slowly dropping her arm to her side.

'Everything okay?' Derek asks, stepping closer to Uma.

Uma shrugs, still furious about earlier.

'Why don't we get out of here, go across the street, and get you some good coffee?' he suggests.

'Thank you,' Uma smiles, taking the cup from Derek's hand.

'You know it's no problem,' he states. 'So, what's going on? Why are you so upset, aside from your kids getting hurt?'

'I just got back from the school,' Uma explains. 'Weatherbee wanted to see me.'

Derek furrows his eyebrows.

'Why?'

'Well,' Uma sighs as she drops a sugar cube in her coffee. 'He wasn't exactly thrilled to see the school in such terrible shape, and he wants to punish the ones who are behind it.'

'By doing what?' he scoffs.

'He's talking to the board about "transferring all Southside students" as if he'd do this had been a Northsider,' she complains, stirring hard enough to spill some coffee over the rim.

Derek hums, slowly stirring his coffee.

'You'd think this whole division would die after all these years,' he comments. 'I'm happy Mitchell is nowhere near this crap,' he adds, taking a sip.

'Oh good,' Uma smiles. 'How is he doing?'

'He's in Centerville,' he answers, putting the spoon down.

'He's taking a business class. I've been making some space in my shop for him.'

'Oh, why?' Uma wonders.

'He wants to start a coffee shop,' he smiles. 'He made a deal with Melo's Bakery to sell some of their pastries. For a fair price,' he smirks.

'He wouldn't be your son if he didn't,' Uma jokes.

Whist is a good father and an agreeable man. He’s easy to get along with and he’s got a lot of wit. Go give him some love!!

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

November 10th - The Black Panther / Shuri

The Princess of Wakanda, Shuri is the sister of T’Challa The Black Panther, and an heiress to the throne of Wakanda. She is the youngest child of T’Chaka and his third wife, Queen Ramonda. From a very young age, Shuri has wanted to become the first woman to don the mantle of The Black Panther.  Following the death of her father, Shuri entered the arena to challenge her uncle S'yan for the title of Black Panther, but was unable to reach the ring before another fighter defeated S'yan and claimed the title. When the victor was unmasked, it was none other than Shuri's older half-brother T’Challa.

Shuri was disappointed, but her brother made for a fine king and excellent Black Panther and she stood dutifully by his side.  She continued to hone her skills as a combatant and tactician.  She was additionally a gifted student who greatly excelled in her studies, particularly in the fields of science and technology.  

Shuri would go on to become a fierce warrior and cunning leader.  She led the attack force that sacked the capital of Atlantis as retribution for Prince Namor’s assault on the Golden City whist possessed by the Phoenix Force.

When T’Challa was incapacitated and left in a comatose state, Shuri stepped in as Wakanda’s stewardship queen.  During this time, the Golden City was besieged by the extra-dimensional menace known as Morlan.  Shuri communed with the deity of Basst who bestowed her the powers of the Black Panther.  Donning her own iteration of the panther garb, Shuri was able to defeat Morlan.  Shuri continued on as the Black Panther, maintaining the mantle even after T’Challa was eventually revived.  

Later, Shuri was nearly killed in battle against Prince Namor and The Cabal.  In a near-death state, Shuri’s soul traveled to the Djalia, a transcendent plane that represented Wakanda's collective memory.  There she encountered a griot spirit who taught her advanced combat skills and ancient magical incantations.  Shuri was eventually revived by T’Challa with the aide of Manifold and she now possessed great powers bestowed by the griot’s training.  

A version of Shuri features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by actress Letitia Wright.  The heroine first appeared in the pages of Black Panther Vol. 4 #2 (2005).

Round 13 and 14

THE SEA EAGLE

MAKING RUGBY LEAGUE GREAT AGAIN!!!

Round 13 - Recap  

Manly Sea Eagles      22  

Defeated   

North QLD Cowboys 20   

With Tommy Turbo returning from injury, brother Jake and Cherry Baby back from Origin duties and Dylan Walker back in the side after being found NOT GUILTY, Manly found themselves at virtually full strength for this fixture.

That said, the trip to 1300Smiles Stadium in Townsville has rarely been a fruitful exercise for Manly. On paper Manly would need all the help they could muster to topple an imposing Cowboys outfit who in recent weeks had discovered some semblance of form. 

Manly opened their account in the 18th minute when Curtis Sironen crossed after some fine lead up work from Tommy Turbo. Sironen, has been somewhat of an unsung hero for Manly this year, and whilst no world-beater rarely fails to deliver a whole hearted effort.   

Minutes later Manly doubled-up when journeyman and last weeks captain Joel Thompson crossed after a deft Cade Cust offload. Whist the Sea Eagle was critical of Thompson’s captaincy last week, like Sironen, he too is a whole hearted player who is playing his best footy this year under Des Hasler.   

With only 7 minutes to go in the first half, the wheels well and truly fell off the Manly machine and after running in three quick tries the Cowboys held an unexpected 20-12 lead at the break.   

It’s fair to say that Coach Hasler would have been filthy with what Manly dished up in the lead up to half time and whatever the message was at half-time the response from Manly was decisive. Manly defended like demons in the second half, particularly when Jack Goseiwski was sent to the bin for a professional foul, and held the Cowboys scoreless. 

The Cowboys did themselves no favours when they declined to take the easy 2pts following said professional foul in a decision that would ultimately come back to haunt them.   

Tries to Horhay Torfua and Cade Cust saw Manly run out well deserved 22-20 winners, getting their season back on track after two previous disappointing losses.  

The Sea Eagle would like to single out the much maligned Torfua for his man of the match performance in this game. Not only did he score a try, but his bone crushing tackle (reminiscent of a Steve Matai special) on Cowboy Shane Wright, forced an error and gave Manly possession which would ultimately lead to the Cust try. Well done Horhay!!    

Round 14   

Manly Sea Eagles      34

Defeated 

St George Dragons    14  

In recent times Manly have had a very poor record against the Dragons, going into this game having won only 9 of their past 28 outings against them. In fact, Manly has been unable to beat the Dragons in the past 2 seasons, hardly surprising given that during this period Manly were coached by the ex-Dragon, DFI infected, non-premiership winning Trent Barrett.  

In season, 2019 Manly under Des Hasler are no longer the Dragons whipping boys and despite a slow start were eventually able to run roughshod over their hapless opposition.   

The Dragons opened the scoring after 5 minutes when Ben Hunt crossed via some very poor Manly goal-line defence. Manly, with little possession in the ensuing 15 minutes then had to withstand an onslaught from the Dragons but muscled up in defence conceding only a penalty goal during this period.   

With possession evening itself up, the momentum turned and tries to Rueben Garrick and Dylan Walker (back in the side after being found NOT GUILTY) saw Manly hold a slim 10-8 lead at the break.   

The second half was all Manly running in four tries in what was perhaps their best display of the season. Having his second outing back from a lengthy injury lay-off Tom Trbojevic was outstanding, scoring a try, 11 tackle breaks and running for 330 metres. What a fine player Tommy Turbo is and if he can stay on the paddock for the remainder of the season who knows what this Des Hasler coached Manly side can achieve. At the very least its fair to say that Manly have enough points and form to probably escape the spoon and on present form look every bit a Top 8 prospect.  

Manly were also well served by Rueben Garrick, Joel Thompson and Aiden Fonue-Blake. Coincidentally all three being St George-Illawarra discards, proving that they do indeed go better when you leave the Dragons lair/furnace.  

Next week Manly get the round off with stand-alone State of Origin game 2 in Perth (thank god for that). Following that it’s off to the Gold Coast, where they will be looking to avenge their embarrassing round 11 loss to the Titans.     

State of Origin 1 and 2   

Every time the Daily Telegraph promote New South Wales is a virtual certainty in a state of origin game the inevitable happens and New South Wales lose. This happened again in the lead up to this fixture (Origin 1) and no doubt it will happen in the future.   

For anyone remotely interested in betting on Origin fixtures, this simple philosophy will no doubt reap great rewards. If you see the Daily Telegraph calling New South Wales virtual certainties and Queensland are outsiders in the betting, back Queensland.   

It was a dark night for NSW. As is the case most years the Blues are sent out favourites, with all and sundry of the so-called experts (Queenslanders excepted) predicting nothing but a NSW victory.   

Whilst NSW had their moments in the first half, again, and as is the case in most years QLD prove their superiority running out comfortable winners in a very high-quality game. Having to sit through Manly games week in week out, particularly through the ill-feted Trent Barrett era, the Sea Eagle can for one, appreciate the standard of the offering that is dished up each year by both QLD and NSW in these games.   

That said the non-performance of NSW centre Latrell Mitchell cannot be overlooked. Touted as the next Greg Inglis, poor old Latrell’s main focus in Origin 1, appeared to be on not singing the National Anthem as he was largely MIA throughout the whole game, prompting veteran Channel 9 commentator, Ray Warren, to observe at the beginning of this fixture that Latrell Mitchell had been in a “very dark place”.   

Similar observations can be made about fellow non anthem singer NSW 5/8 Cody Walker, who was unceremoniously hooked Steve Mavin style like by NSW Coach Brad Fittler in Origin 1. Again, he focused much of his pre-game talk on not singing the anthem, but once on the field, he too was MIA and a hopeless non contributor, and deserved to be replaced.   

As we now know Latrell and Cody have been dropped for Game 2 in the series. Justifiably so, and for no other reason than poor form . The Sea Eagle must reiterate that these 2 droppings had nothing to do with a deliberate refusal to sing the National Anthem. The Director of Controversy has confirmed the same no less.   

That said, Latrell Mitchell is by far and away, when in form, the best player in the game and he will be sorely missed in attack by NSW. Latrell’s replacement ? None other than Manly’s Tommy Turbo. So it's not all bad for New South Wales.

Mercifully New South Wales have resisted the temptation to pick Mitchell Pearce for Origin 2. Neither Mitchell Pearce nor New South Wales need to go back to those dark days, to use Ray Warren's words. If anyone would find themselves in a very dark place it would have to be Mitchell Pearce facing the prospect of having to play for New South Wales and face Queensland one more time.    

BBC's Laura Kuenssberg jeered by MPs as Boris Johnson slaps down her question  

Boris Johnson was the subject of an attempted mocking by BBC journalist Laura Kuenssberg as he faced the media following the launch of his Tory leadership campaign this week. The Tory leadership candidate accused Ms Kuenssberg, a left leaning socialist journalist from the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation (AKA the British Broadcasting Corporation)  after she attempted to question  Mr. Johnson. The problem with her supposed question was it was nothing more than a long winded statement of political bias and misguided observations.   

The question:   “Mr Johnson you suggested that Brexit would be a straightforward win-win, and actually it’s been a chaotic mess. As Foreign Secretary you offended people at home and abroad, you have a reputation for being cavalier with vital detail. And already in this campaign, you’re telling some supporters you’ll do everything to avoid leaving the EU without a deal, and others that you gladly would do that. It’s a simple question. If you want to be Prime Minister, can the country trust you?”   

Of course it was anything but a simple question. The answer from Boris Johnson:   “Well yes, of course, Laura, and the answer perhaps in that great minestrone of observation there was one substantiative question which was that one crouton I picked up. Which is you think that I’ve been somehow inconsistent, somehow inconsistent Laura, in saying that I don’t want a no deal outcome but I think it is right for our great country to prepare for that outcome.”   

The crowd applauded Mr Johnson before he continued (as Laura Kuenssberg dropped her head from the gaze of the cameras like a beaten favourite):   “I think that what most people understand is that the best way to avoid a no deal outcome, the best way to avoid a disorderly Brexit of any kind is to make the preparations now that will enable us to leave in a managed way if we have to.”  

Do we dare to dream that the leader of the largest economy in the world the USA, Mr. Donald Trump will now be backed up by the leader of the fifth largest economy in the world, the UK lead by Boris Johnson ? The Sea Eagle sincerely hopes so if for no other reason than the pure entertainment value that prospect offers the rest of the world.

 THE SEA EAGLE

[outofficial]

It's finally here—the day we've all been waiting for ever since the “Moonlight”/ “La La Land” Best Picture fiasco: the Oscar noms have been announced. It's been a tight race, in which “Three Billboards” appears to have established itself as the frontrunner for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and maybe even Best Picture, while “The Shape of Water” has proven a nomination favorite this awards season but not necessarily the most likely to win. It leads this year's Oscars with 13 nominations.

In more exciting news, “Get Out” scored noms for Jordan Peele for Best Directing, Picture, and Writing, making him only the third director ever to receive all three noms on a debut feature. Daniel Kaluuya also scored a Best Actor nomination for the film.

Greta Gerwig, too, did well for herself, earning noms for Best Directing and Writing, and “Lady Bird” also has been nominated for Best Picture, though since Gerwig isn't a producer on the film she can't technically claim the same record as Peele.

“Call Me By Your Name” was nominated for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for Timothée Chalamet. Also notable is that “A Fantastic Woman,” the Chilean film starring trans actress Daniela Vega, was nominated for Best Foreign Film.

The Oscars are hosted this year by Jimmy Kimmel and take place March 4 on ABC. Take a look at the full list below:

Fiona James 🌈🦋

Fiona James is a professor and the founder of a new community art project and practices something called TRE therapy (Tension, Stress and Trauma Release) part of which is something called Heart Coherence. Fiona and her team has taken up residence in Bidston Hill, which is really close to where I live. For me this year has been full of strange connections and coincidences.

I had heard last year that an art group had moved into the old observatory building. Bidston Hill is a local beauty spot, but it’s also apparently one of largest ley line sites in the UK outside of Stone Henge. Bidston Hill has a very bizarre history.

Funnily enough, my first ever art project I did whist on my UAL art foundation course was about Bidston Hill. It has always a place that fascinates me for years since I was a kid.

The Hill has an old light house, an old flag signalling systems (as a kid I thought the holes 🕳 in the ground were swimming pools for fairies 🧚‍♀️ 😂) the team of scientist based at the observatory during the 2nd World War helped assist the UK to win the war. It’s also home to one of the country’s oldest windmills, which has so many mysterious stories of tragedy.

The Hill is also linked with strange rituals, pagan ceremony’s, Noric stone carvings, murders (sadly even in recent years), strange deaths, legends and folk tales, it was home to a Jack the Ripper suspect, endless ghost stories, stories of werewolves, and so many stories about witches and a cursed witches circle ⭕️ ....Modern day white witches are still practicing there today.

Fiona has started what’s sounds like an artists commune. Any creative can apply to work up there for a few months at a time. The residency can help progress your practice. Allowing creatives to make larger works and explore new ideas. I always find personally that a new space can really help with new direction.

The artist can also show their works in exhibitions during their residency. It’s so wonderful to hear that a place like this so close to where I live.

I think I would still be a bit scared of being up there at night (I’m such a whimp! 👀). Even though Bidston Hill it’s a beautiful place Iv always found the place a little unnerving as a child and that was before I found out it’s history....I’m 40 and still afraid of being outside in the dark alone. 😱😂

From having a background and several qualifications in health care and many years and studying. I know the health benefits of regular meditation.

Deep breathing improves our bodies health through increasing the level of oxygen, which in turn helps to focus and calm the mind. Its a medical fact that a calm mindset helps speed up the healing process. There is also a link between our mental health and our digestive system.

Another interesting factoid (if your a proud geek like me) 🤓: I also read that apparently munks, through meditation, can actually block out pain and slow down their pulse when they achieve their state of zen. This shows the power of a focused mind and breathing deeply. 🦋

That’s why I started a mindfulness meditation gathering group in uni. To me it’s more about us being in tune with our own bodies and filtering out all the madness which helps us reconnect with the world around us. I also feel this allows our creativity to flow more freely. Plus the long term health benefits. So many of us struggling with our mental health these days. It’s good to remember to take time out for ourselves.

Their is such a massive link between our mental health and our physical health. Thats why Iv never understood why mental health has always been the Cinderella section of our health service, personally I have always felt we should be treated holistically.

As a person who has suffered 2 nervous breakdowns and experienced psychological pain that lead to actually physical illness and hospitalisation. I know that reality and the dangers of not allowing ourselves time to reconnect with the world around us.

Their are so many conditions such as CFS, fibromyalgia, psychological trauma and physical trauma that can cause pain in the back, joints and just about anywhere in the body. This can be made so much worse through poor posture and overcompensating. Deferred pain through over compensating long term can actually cause further injury to both muscle and joints.

Fiona blew me away when explained her TRE Practice and talked about how the body by using Heart Coherence completely resetting itself through breathing deeply in an even pattern of breaths the effect of which lasting up to 6 hours. It’s amazing that something so simple can have such an instant physical benefit.

Hearing Fiona talk about the subconscious and gratitude was really interesting. Iv read a book before called ‘The Secret’ It is apparently based on an ancient practice called the laws of attraction.

The book talks about the keys to happiness and success are linked to our own thoughts and mindset. It also talks about the idea that the time we are living now in is actually formed by our passed thoughts and feeling, which I find crazy to think.

The law of attraction talks about how we are all magnetically connected to the energy of the universe and the energy we put out we attract back. Like that saying ‘misery loves company’ or the theory that some people are social vampires 🧛‍♀️ ....could that mean we actually attract them? 😱 I know I have many times. 👀 ...Constant negativity from other people makes me feel really drained.

So basically the theory is that what you expect and give out you attract. If you have negative expectations you attract negative people, events and experience and visa versa. It sounds simple, but hard to do 💯% of the time. I do try, but as you have probably read in past posts. I am prone to negative thoughts and paranoid spirals too (no shock there 😜). I decided I want to be as honest and open as I can on my blogs to try and become my true original self.

Sometimes I find it helpful to remember that even people who look like they have it all together can be the ones suffering the most. We all have public image we like to project. We all have our highs and lows. We shouldn’t be ashamed of them. What’s the point of being fake and protending to be positive 💯% of the time when it’s just not humanly possible for any of us. I read somewhere that apparently the closer our subconscious and concious selves are the happier we are.

I saw a lecture online with a professor (I can’t remember her name 🤦🏻‍♀️ I must look it up) but she said that all this pressure we feel to be positive all the time and demonising our normal feelings by labelling them as negative has a profoundly damaging effect. She said we have to acknowledge all our feeling. We have to then realise why we may be feeling them, then try and deal with them by allowing them to come through and out of our bodies other wise they get trapped and cause physical health issue.

I thought of this when Fiona talked blocked enegry from passed traumas getting trapped within our muscle tissue, which actually cause physical symptoms. The professor (who’s name I actually can’t remember) said to reject and ignore any human emotion is to have ‘dead peoples goals’ which I think makes perfect sense.....we feel the things we do because we are alive so we should embrace them so we can let them go.

Pain receptors are attached to the brain through the nervous system. The messages get sent to injury sights and respond to the pain via pin receptors🤓🧐 ....So I think what Fiona is saying is that these messages from our brain can get trapped/blocked due to trauma.

I’m not sure if I heard this right because it was so complicated, but Fiona talks about pain thought trauma. The system Fiona treats is actually controlled by the heart and these pathways exist inside this subcutaneous layer of membrane, which surrounds our body?

I was fascinated to find out from Fiona, that as a healer, she is actually able to unblock long term trapped energy pathways learned by the body through trauma. Through using Heart Coherence and TRE she can also somehow re-map the body and stop pain.

Fiona treats people by actually talking to the area of the body where the person is feeling pain, which she identifies as the site of the blocked pathway. It’s like she can communicate with the pain itself. It sounds so bizarre, but I would love to see it working and maybe even see if it could work for me. 🙏

Fiona also mentioned that we all have a 5 metre circumference energy field around us, I have heard that before, could that be linked to what people refer to as our auras?

I often wonder whether this force field we all have could be why, in times of stress or excitement, a crowded place can literally feel palpable, like you can feel the energy in the air radiating through our bodies in unison.

I know this is something Mark Wright is very interested in with regards to his work too. This idea that the body extends beyond it’s physical form.

It makes sense, because there is so much we don’t know about the subconscious mind, it literally functions 💯 % of the time and our conscious 5%. So is it really so unbelievable that our bodies can connect without touch? After all we are all made up of the same matter and energy. I don’t think it’s crazy to believe that healing powers can actually exist.

Fionas work sounds so interesting. I would love to find out more. I would definitely love to go up to Bidston when the crazy quarantine is all over and have a good long chat with her to find out more about her work. As Fiona said ‘Magic is just technology we don’t understand yet’

Humans have always feared science and anything new as it can be perceived as a danger or a threat, but thankfully we are living in times where are minds are open to new and exciting seemingly impossible things. Thankfully we are all less pitch folks and torches these days.

Mark Wright

Looking back on Wrights notes not much of what I written makes sense to me, this isn’t surprising due to the lecture itself being difficult for me to follow. I found it difficult to connect to Mark and his portfolio of work because much of it consisted of high complex language, techniques, equipment and so on. Whist I was able to see and appreciate the work presented to me during the lecture, it was the explanations of what and why I struggled to comprehend. Why had he made this along with what was used to make this, both questions presumably answered about each individual art piece but said in a way in which I could not translate. Mark comes from a scientific background, and transitioning into the world of art he had to adapt his approach to research. His work ‘Connecting Cities’ was the standout from his practice for me, a seaside like telescope would be placed in the middle of a busy city, however when you look into it you get a digital live feed of a different city to the one you’re in, along with your eyes being live fed to a digital screen in that said city. I don’t understand the nitty gritty behind it, as I am clueless to what equipment was used to be able to make that happen. The outcome however is brilliant, and the concept is really intriguing. This piece of work got me thinking about other possibilities for him and his practice. Incorporating technology in his work comes down to the fact that technology is forever changing, meaning new developments mean new possibilities, the extent of technology used within my own practice consists of a camera and a little Photoshop now and again. Mark’s work interestingly links very heavily to my sixth form Art and Design essay entitled ‘How has technology changed the way in which we view and make art within the 21st century’.
