I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! 😀 Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

Hello! I’m new here. I’m a conceptual/surrealist Ugandan photographer & multi-inter-disciplinary artist based on occupied Lenape land (NYC).

I tend to hide my art and hide as an artist but I’m trying to get back into it, and put myself out there.

Excited to connect with other artists, & also showcase my work on here! 🍉

This piece is currently untitled.

Next week I return to the Kielderhead Wildwood, where I worked as an artist five years ago.

The wildwood is a large area at the Scottish-English border where 39,000 native trees were planted by the local community from 2017-2022, to make a future landscape where there once was once commercial forestry. I made work about the interconnections between humans, trees, fungi and technologies.

Nusretiye Mosque.
Thomas Allom, from "Constantinople: and the Scenery of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor," London, Paris: [1839?] #illustration #art oldbookillustrations.com/illus…
View of the Nusretiye Mosque, with the Bosphorus in the foreground and a man boarding a ship from a rowboat. The author describes the mosque as follows: "This beautiful but small imperial mosque of the reigning sultan, is situated not on a conspicuous eminence like those of his predecessors, but in the low alluvial ground on the shores of the Bosphorus, and on the water’s edge; but the beauty and finish of the edifice compensate for the defects of its site. All the skill of Oriental ornament is expended upon it. Rich lattice-work and taper spires of minarets highly gilded, glitter in the sun with a brilliancy and recency, as if they had been left just finished by the hands of the artisans."

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about some cute and silly cats in hats!

Beatrix Potter is best remembered for her charming tales of Peter Rabbit, but did you know she also studied #science?

Potter collected & examined beetles, butterflies, plants, bird eggs, shells, rocks, fossils & especially fungi. She conducted experiments & wrote a scientific paper with her own illustrations, presented at the Linnean Society of London. However, as a woman in the Victorian era, she couldn’t even attend the meeting.#history #art #books

For those that like to digest news in places other than Mastodon, I send out an email once every 3-ish months with updates from my studio and some thoughts on art, technology and nonhuman critters. Over time the newsletter has turned into a sort of conceptual blog post that I do every once in a while. Sign up or read the most recent one here: shanefinan.org/newsletter.html

I also have an RSS feed of my most recent news: shanefinan.org/feed

I've just published a new page on my website documenting the last 3 months on an art residency exploring fire through the plant aiteann (gorse) and its relationship to sitka spruce: shanefinan.org/VAP/15_aiteann.…

This was part of the international research project investigating wildfires called FIRECULT. For the project, I created charcoal and made new drawings, made work with fire, and created two new video artworks.

The relationship between the two plants and fire is also very interesting. Their loose 'self seeded' plants grow all over the Irish countryside and often grown next to one another. Wildfires spread from aiteann (gorse) and heather onto sitka spruce forestry quite easily, making it a big issue for fire management.

With climate change, drier weeks and warmer summers mean wildfires become a bigger risk. And here we have two crops that have become weeds, spreading wild and burning together.

Thinking about aiteannn (gorse) as historically a cash crop changed the way I perceived it as a cultural and heritage object.

It made me start to wonder if some day a cash crop like sitka spruce will be a cultural or heritage object in Ireland, with myth and tradition associated with the plant.

So I started creating a cultural heritage, drawing sitka spruce with charcoal made from sitka spruce branches.

As some of you may recall, it was this October that I decided to relaunch my website and try to give the pottery a go.

A month later, our postal service decided to strike. Things were going well till then, but today I accept the fact any holiday sales are lost, and we won't be getting our Christmas box from home.

If you can boost this post and follow so that more people can see my work, it'd mean a lot at this stressful time.

AUDIOVISUAL DISRUPTION proposes to dismantle the apparatus of audiovisual media arts and rethink it from a post-digital perspective based on hybridisation. Post-digital aesthetics are grounded in impure aesthetics that exploit the effects of digital computational systems as they deeply permeate all parts of contemporary life. It concludes with a series of artworks critical to the material, sociocultural and environmental consequences of digital technology.
