posted on March 18th, 2008
Illustrator Matt Kay has teamed up with photographer Liz Dickinson to produce a set of mixed media images to support Sarah Lockes appearence at Japan Fashion Week. Part of the concept was to make the models appear shop-mankin-esque and although caucasian not to be to overtly european. We think they look quite cool, hopefully the Japanese will too!www.kdimension.co.ukwww.sarahlocke.comRelated articles:Lancashire Evening Post

posted in "inspiration" Why ‘pant’?
posted on March 10th, 2008
‘Pant’ means trousers in American English, underpants in British English, to Pant is to breath quickly in little puffs like an old engine. Pant is an Asian surname, and and means a hollow in Welsh. Many furry animals use panting to adjust their body-temperature, and several places in England are called Pant.
Most importantly ‘pant’ means (in Norwegian) giving something and getting something else back, something with the same value, but a different form.

Anyone who can find this rather miserable looking tree can claim a mystery prize. To narrow it down a bit, you’ll find it mournfully overlooking a favourite Hackney drinking establishment…

I hope this the beginning of a discussion on Pant. This is the first entry for category; ’street fashion’, and will it be the last? Yesterday we saw the FashionBlogger Yvan the Face Hunter on brick lane market, taking a picture of this man;
Unfortunately our capacity to ‘pull the camera’ is not as good as Mr. Facehunters, and the picture we got of him was this;
There is, or is there?.. an ongoing discussion about the online blogging, and endless list of online fashion-blogs…

posted in "fashion" The Mailart Pinhole Camera Project.
posted on March 2nd, 2008
Past.
This started as part of my university studies some years ago. Conceived as a participative/public art project, it involved manufacturing flat-folding pinhole cameras which could easily be posted in much the same way as a letter. As stated on the camera sleeve, it was up to the recipient to choose a subject, and in their own time - take a photograph. I tested and refined the design for some time before sending them out, so was able to provide fairly good exposure guidelines on the reverse of each camera. The camera is loaded with one piece of black and white film - allowing just one exposure. The participant then posted the camera back to me for development, the resultant image appearing later in a on-line gallery, and perhaps eventually an exhibition and accompanying book. A key feature of the project was the invitation to participants to add one or two addresses; friends or colleagues who might enjoy taking part. In this way, my intention was that the project would grow exponentially, quickly taking on a life of it’s own. In reality the manufacturing process (by-hand) was a huge amount of work for one person; I managed to make about fifty, and the whole process proved too time consuming for me alone.
Present.
In recent years, re-starting the project has occurred to me time and time again. The continued proliferation of digital photography, where every image is instantly reviewable only seems to strengthen an idea which is so susceptible to chance and error, light and chemicals.
Future.
What is clear to me now is that more advanced manufacturing techniques, additional help, and perhaps inevitably, funding would be needed to make the project viable and potentially successful. If you’d like to help support and re-start this project, please do contact me by leaving a comment to this entry.

The UnderTheTableKnitting-project is started, and turns out to be extremely easy and tricky at the same time. The 
name will, probably, and unfortunately, have to be changed, as the machine doesn’t actually fit under the table. Anyone interested or have any ideas, please contact Leonie or Maria or leave a comment to this entry.
