BIG HEADS WITH ROB HODGSON
Didn't think I'd heard his name before but then when we saw his website I kept seeing images I'd pinned/reblogged online, so had without realising seen lots of his work before.

'Print making, gets sucked up into the computer'
something I've been thinking about with my current 504 Printed Pictures Project. Process is often digitised at some point, for ease/necessity/pleasure. Hodgson digitises his printed textures to archive them, to revisit them and to show them off (hence where they end up on my Pinterest feed)
Radio signals - the work he publishes either rings out forever, radio silence, or someone likes it and little responses ping back.
Likes to get hands-on
'Cool material, what could I use it for?' I find his approach to materials quite innovative and inventive in this way. Finding and re-purposing. Quite a Postmodern approach - recycling, taboo materials, use them as starting points.
