Beginning landscapes

Suzanne Conboy-Hill

That tricky second album. I fell over a documentary on Sky Arts a few days ago, about Australian art, and thought it would concern Aboriginal work which I’ve written about in my dissertation. But it wasn’t, it was about immigrant Australians, White folk, and I nearly turned it off. Luckily I didn’t because I saw some work that not only had me asking how the artist did that, but also wanting to do it myself. Part of the Heidelberg School, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg_School) a group of young men working in an impressionistic style and spending much of their time in a place … Continue reading Beginning landscapes

I just noticed yesterday that my in-app videos of the Art in the Wild exhibition (in the underpass, between the fields, and next to the river) have been attracting quite a lot of attention. Nora has had 1863 views Charlie 1806 views George 1359 views And Flora, 623 views. She has 100% likes though, which might matter if she could count. (Come on people, bump up poor Flora’s stats, she’s a proper cutie!) In-app posts are videos I make using the Artivive app which I then post to my channel, they’re not in–situ recordings made by visiting viewers. My all-time … Continue reading YouTube channel views

When you start learning how to make visual art, no one tells you how it will take over every surface in your house and some of it will be wet. Contrast this with writing where books stay on shelves and your desk with its computer and printer is generally all the space a good story needs. Back it up, shut it down, no washing or mopping involved. The other big difference is that writing goes into books which go into shops or online magazines, it doesn’t hang around where you can trip over it, and it certainly doesn’t need bubble … Continue reading Virtual Gallery

Art in the Wild Gallery

Suzanne Conboy-Hill

One of the few places in the village to have a nearly reliable phone signal (good luck with that national emergency text!) is by the river between two fields and under a flyover. I use the graffiti there as targets for AR videos based on my paintings, curating content to cater for all ages and sensibilities. On Bank Holiday Monday (UK) May 29th, I ‘opened’ my exhibition after posting on our local Facebook page details of its whereabouts and what people needed to be able to view the exhibits. I also said I would be there from 10-11am and 3-4pm … Continue reading Art in the Wild Gallery
