After the initial lockdowns, I finally visited the tree planting site in 2021 and documented the young trees there. Some of that is visible in my web artwork Macalla https://macalla.shanefinan.org

That work was designed to give consideration to the human hand in the future forest, made visible on the web. I wanted to combine perspectives of networks.

This year, when I revisit the site, these tiny saplings will be substantial young trees. Most of those that have survived will be taller than me.

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.

#art

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.

I love seeing cacti decorated with holiday lights this time of year, here in Tucson, AZ! Here’s my art of a festively decorated Enlightened Saguaro. You can read about my process creating this art on my latest blog post https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/a-festive-cactus

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.

My good friend Sam made me this wonderful card for Halloween. The photo on the left is how it looks in person. The photo on the right is how it looks through the phone at a certain angle.

Any guesses as to why? #art

I simply adore this photo of James Earl Jones & Big Bird.

Yes, he played a lot of memorable dads from Darth Vader to Mufasa to King Jaffe Joffer + countless other incredible roles on & offscreen.

And Mr. Jones also happened to be the very first celebrity guest on Sesame Street. #history #media #art

In case you need some inspiration, Mister Rogers, Julia Child, LeVar Burton, Bob Ross & the wonderful folks at PBS have you covered.

My occasional invitation to anyone who might like to sign up to my newsletter on my artworks about networks: https://shanefinan.org/newsletter.html

It's where I structure a lot of thoughts. I send one every 3 months or so, and they're a little bit like blog posts. The most recent one is also at that link, for a taster.
