I’ve been using Photoshop for a long time now, about 15 years, and I’m sure I’ll either be using it or Affinity Publisher for many more years for editing still images. However, the world moves on and I want to present my work in different ways these days. I’ve done some collage and acrylic painting… Continue reading Software for presenting my work

Composite Videos
Two weeks to go and I still hadn’t completed my work or organised its presentation. Agh! I have so much material and there are three main strands; composites on memories and time. found poetry, ICMs and details, which, ideally, should have a convincing, coherent link (or must they?). I could see that would be a… Continue reading Composite Videos
Igneous Composites
‘Igneous’ is the title given to our group MA exhibition. I was a bit dubious, I couldn’t see how we all connected with it. The next day I went to Giant’s Causeway, where lava once had poured into the sea. I still couldn’t see a connection for me. Today I was walking in the woods… Continue reading Igneous Composites
‘Scatter’ Composites
Or cubist composites, or stretched composites. I don’t know what to call them, so I’ll start with that. My original composites These became the composites in my solo exhibition at the Riverside Theatre Gallery in March 2024. New Work, different Photo and Artifacts In May I made some more, using other artifacts and a different… Continue reading ‘Scatter’ Composites
Silent Crits
Our cohort was split in two, for this session as we each had 30 minutes and it would have gone on too long. In mine there was Anna, Riette, Steve and myself, plus one student who was starting Module 2 called Deborah, with tutor Michele. The image to be discussed in the Crit Previously, I… Continue reading Silent Crits
AI and Old Hats (or wallets)
I watched Sarah-Jane Field’s talk on AI on Wednesday evening. It was quite interesting for me as I am very sceptical about the potential, practical uses of this technology. (My group of research energy engineers looked into neural networks and other AI methodology from about 2008.) If it were harmless, then I wouldn’t see anything… Continue reading AI and Old Hats (or wallets)
Contemporary Tales Presentation
Bio Michele asked for a Bio to introduce us. This was mine. David (Wright) is a retired lecturer in energy engineering, renewable energy and climate change. His research interests were principally in biomass, bioenergy, energy from wastes and the techno-economic analysis of power plants. David’s research took him to London (GEC), Ontario, Canada (Brock University),… Continue reading Contemporary Tales Presentation
Picasso, Braque, Cubism and me
I have just been working on a set of composites from one set of images, showing variations in each composite to signify different reflections, varying memories and altered emotions at different times that the memories are recalled. These composites work on static images, frozen in time, but what if I altered these images in some… Continue reading Picasso, Braque, Cubism and me
A possible paper? – update.
Ten days to go before submission to the call mentioned in https://spaces.oca.ac.uk/wallet6/2023/07/23/a-possible-paper/. This would be my first paper submission (in FA, I know my way around science submissions) and I’d like it to be at least in the correct format for Fine Arts genre. DRAFT The Wrong Box and the Wallet David Wright, Open College… Continue reading A possible paper? – update.
Lingering Memories
As part of our PPP we have been asked/exhorted/(forced?) to get our work ‘out there’. When I was shown this call by Blair, I thought it was made for me. We will see if that’s the case by November. I had a bit of an initial problem as the call shown here, that Blair had… Continue reading Lingering Memories
