we are syllagraphica

Michael & I started collaborating in early 2011... I've been taking street based photographs for what seems like forever & Michael had been writing poetry & lyrics for just as long. As admirers of eachothers work it seemed a natural progression to collaborate on a project that Michael entitled 'syllagraphica'.

Somtimes Michael will write in respose to my images, and sometimes he will give me pieces of text & I respond with a photograph. When the image comes first, I give Michael the title too. When the text comes first, sometimes it's the title, sometimes it doesn't need one.

We put on an exhibition in April 2011 in Lewisham, the opening night included framed pairings of prints & text & a projection piece, which was also shown at the FoxFest music & arts festival the following month. This blog aims to take the project further, a place to post our ongoing work and detail future exhibitions and events.

The next showing of our work will be at Reynolds Cafe in Charlotte Street [just around the corner from Goodge Street station] The exhibition will open on the 9th August. The cafe is gorgeous, as is the food, so if you're going to pay a visit, have a coffee and a piece of cake while you look at the exhibition.

There were 13 pieces in our original show, so I'm going to post one a day until the opening, followed by a brand new piece especially for the new show which will go online the day we hang the show, kinda like a sinister advent calendar... hope you can make it down to see our work at some point!
