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), Cambridge (Cavendish Laboratory), Berlin (Max Planck Gesellschaft) before returning to Northern Ireland (Ulster University).
David has always been a keen photographer with an interest in art, but very little talent at mark-making. Living near the beautiful north coast of Northern Ireland he takes daily walks in the woods or beaches with his dogs. He has been hoping to combine these interests and find themes at the interface of science and art which has developed in the MA to look at time, memories and their interaction and the close observation of the infra-ordinary and everyday events. His practice involves photography, digital and analogue composite image making, hybrid mixed media collages, found/erasure poetry and writing.

Reflections on this presentation
Although it took me about a week to put this together, I think it was worth doing. I had been told that there were several ‘voices’ in my last Module Evaluation and I think I was able to unite three of the four sections here (Composites, Cubism, and Found Poetry), or at least show their common features arising from Perec’s ideas on closely observing the infra-ordinary, while the ICM section involved his ideas on observing the everyday routines (my walks in the woods or beaches).
