Languid Lady Lepidoptera

The Languid Lady Lepidoptera

The Languid Lady Lepidoptera was Indeed in need of a shave

Hairy Scary Hirsute as she was

Her gown was inflated with somnambulant moths

Just Imagine the pep peppery sound

of a mill ion purr purr r snor ing moths

So what do moths in a frock smell like

a hint of hirsute moth like mists and Stir fried Anticipation

of a mysterious rent in the mother moth frock

in fly the moths two by two inner antennae linked

frilly formative flying

Bobby Howlers One and All and Tall for None

The Click clock moths were almost to blame for the tick tock tickle

of fur laden wings

the fascination of antennae as a device to tickle so beloved of

dear Rudolf II Holy Roman Emperor Moth Fancier

Editors Note :

bob howler moth is a slang Brummie word for big hairy moths

Probably The Privet moth England’s largest resident moth

There is no evidence in any historical archive that Rudolf II

was interested in the ancient art of tickling

A Cartography of Dreams

14 October 2016 - 1 January 2017

Dimbola Museum & Galleries

“Dreams are true while they last. And do we not live in dreams?” Alfred Lord Tennyson

In this exhibition, four photographers set out to answer this question posed by Alfred Lord

Tennyson some 150 years ago. Their artistic exploration maps the contours of their

dreams and imaginations—much like cartographers outlining the shorelines and mountains

of a new continent. For what are dreams, but a map to move us forward on a quest

for understanding?

And on this journey to awareness, one artist beckons with gesture and symbol to a quiet

blue world, on a search for meaning and purpose in an unknown future. While another’s

attraction to the strange and bizarre, melded with a dose of reality, creates an incongruence

that implores us to look again and again. A third artist uses colour as an emotional

springboard, moving us through visual dreamscapes that merge magic realism with surrealism,

considering complex relationships along the way. And a fourth artist looks through a

lens of hope and possibility, longing to see the unseeable and to know the unknowable. A

quartet of dreamers and explorers they are, taking us along for the ride.

Julia Margaret Cameron, in her timeless and moving work, sought to ennoble photography

by combining the real and the Ideal. It is the hope of these four photographers to honour

her legacy by creating art that encourages viewers to embark on their own expeditions,

map their own dreams, and perhaps alter their directions as a result.

This exhibition features thirty one works by four international photographers: Fran Forman,

Jonah Calinawan, Paul Biddle and Tami Bone. The exhibition is produced and curated by

Dr Rachel Tait, Dimbola Museum and Galleries, in association with Maxine Watts, Reclaim

Photography Festival. For more information about the four artists and the exhibition,

She held a leash most fine and Lepidopteran

All of a Whirrr and Myopic on the move

of Count Muldivos’ Clockwork Moths vanishing up her sleeve

(a sight for sore eyes)

spectacles glasses blinkers and goggles

lorgnettes and musty net curtains

glistening pince-nez good for a gossip

monocles for posers full of surprises

Nearly Everyone knows that Quizzing specs are sometimes sly

The Collectors' Spectacles

Count Muldivo has always preferred riveting spectacles

to the drab and dribbling nondescript

more to the point do glasses remember

the Wonders and Curios they have beheld

mumbling past their vigilant frames two by two achoo

Little Stick figures in the street

2015-05-29T03:11:00.000-07:00

Snapshots which don't normally see the light of day

No' 262 and counting

I've heard it said I always carry a camera

W ell I do too

Ok I do when I remember

there really is no excuse not to

and then I remember a few words by Susan Sontag

something about photographers

not really experiencing the scene before them

only recording it to experience it after the event

I read this when I was a student

and it certainly made me ponder

but it never stopped me taking a snap or two

Now here is one of my snaps

Street Scene

I have to say

I do love a bit of back-lighting

and combine that with a gauze curtain

and the magic begins to happen

Diffused Light

Long shadows

Add some Stick figures A bit like Lowry

and say Palpable at least three times

Egg Albumum Fact or Diction

2014-08-05T06:17:00.000-07:00

Egg Albumum Fact or Diction ?

You always know when you hear a rat

a tat tat at the door

It’s one of those moments isn't it ?

Are you pleased or

are you disturbed ?

Well in this case

I was Over The Moon

In waddled Egg Albumum

The Walking not quite talking

Al bum Ph oto graphica

I just had to take a snap

of this momentous event

and here it is for your

delectation and delight

Egg Albumum

She

didn’t b utter a word

not a one nor a 2two

I began to understand

what I had taken for a quirky grin

was in fact an upside down

Cape of Good Hope triangular stamp

not a mouth at all

more like my lips are sealed

with an interesting stamp taboo

Suffice it to say in a postage stamp way

I wasn’t in the least bit perturbed

I spun Egg Albumum around

and noticed a zip most fine

yes a zip zip pity zip

running almost all the way

up or down her back

much to my delight the zip was made

of interlocking ants yes

ants alive alive o all holding hands

Fun with Formica or what

For those of us interested in the

anatomy of the zip

yes yes     there was a zipper handle

a fine Black Scorpion

with    a smile    in her tail

  as they say in the zip trade

with some trepidation

and with a clatter of a carapace or

two

I undid the zip

imagine the sound

of a fencing match   with ants legs

and a scorpions smile

for bile and health und   safety

reasons

I am not allowed

to show you a photograph

Enough of this zip for now

What spilled out   of old Egg Albumum

tummy tum tum

Twelve ancient Sun Drawings

All Curled paper brittle

Crackling with the dust of ancient Light

prints per say

some say replications of reality

we say simulacrums of Netheregion   Nonsense

Indeed some of the said Images

were made centuries before

the advent colander of photo graphy

How could this be possible ?

Quite simply

Anything is possible with a smattering

of tooth paste , a kind tinder box

and Precious temerity by the sea

Editors Note :

The Twelve photographic like images found inside

this most unearthly Phot o Album

appear to substantiate the existence of Count

Muldivo’s Travelling Cabinet of Curiosity

I’ m still stroking my chin on this one

I just can’t accept the existence of photos

several centuries before the media was invented

OK I can accept the zip made from

interlocking ants and stuff

Hair doo Voodoo

Did I ever tell you about

I probably did n't and

most likely shouldn't But

You can never be too careful about history

OK if you insist here goes

It was some time ago now

that an album most proud

came into my possession quite unannounced

Purporting to be Photographic evidence

of Count Muldivo's

Cab in ets of Curiosity

Just imagine the position of my eyebrows

Here is the first plate Hair do Voo Doo

Hair Do VooDoo

The Only known Likeness of
The Clockwork Woman
who wore a tame Armadillo as a hat

also featuring for one night only
The Healing Hands of Halifax

yes

The Healing Hands of Halifax

Never You mind about them

for now or ne’er do well

The Little Chap - Fact or Fiction?

2013-10-29T05:30:00.000-07:00

The Li ttle Chap

The Little Chap has appeared in three pictures in my Cabinet of Curiosity

and each time he does he elicits a huge response from women and men

and the occasional side table and of course our friend the budgerigar

He’s a no nonsense sort of chap with an enigmatic air


Little Chap Nesting

A clean cut jaw and on some days a glint in his eye

At first I thought him to be Hungarian for obvious reasons

He always makes himself at home and bakes the most amazing little buns

but I was soon proven to be mistaken when he baked me a cake of consequence

So why does he elicit this response ?

Little Chap spots the egg

On the face of it he’s and old engraving squeezed into a 3D shape

Found by the Great Arturo und Annie Tolaini

Nurtured in their Cabinet of Curiosity

and generously sent for a little holiday with the Count and Countess Muldivo

where he sleeps in a tiny cotton wool filled Box of Wonder

I often think about the journey he made form Bristol to Devon

Can see him standing there waiting for the train, his little suitcase in hand,

on the windswept platform patrolled by his friends the Pigeons or were they Dodos?


The Last Dodo

Attila the Hun once asked me

Just what makes this Little Chap Tick    ?

I’m afraid    Nobody Knows but he does have a little clock face

The C a bin et of Curios ities

C u r C u r i o C u r i o u s C u r i o s i t y

A c c o r d i n g to Wikipedia and friends

"A cab i net of curio s ities was an encyclopaedic collection in R e n a i s s a n c e Europe

of

types of objects whose categorial boundaries were yet to be defined.

They were also known by various names such as Cab inet of Wonder,

and in German
Kunstkammer ("art-room") or
Wunderkammer ("wonder-room").

Modern terminology would categorize the objects included as belonging to N A T U R A L H i s t o r y - and r a t h e r d e l i ciously (sometimes faked), also known as J ennyes

"The Kunstkammer was regarded as a microcosm or theater of the world,
and a memory theater. This I yam very interested by
The term cabinet originally described a room rather than a piece of furniture

The Kunstkammer provided a solace and retreat for contem plation or a collection, with a special emphasis on paintings of people with interesting deformities - enter The Queen of Nipples in Paul Biddles Cabinet and also Quentin Massys Queen of Tunis or Naples - not to forget Leonardo’s earlier drawing of a Grotesque - all t h r e e appear to be wearing what I can only describe as a Bull et Brass iere

Showcase of the Fine Art Photography of Paul Biddle

2012-05-31T08:17:00.000-07:00

Most years I get a few photography students getting in touch and asking if they can do a critique or presentation of my work as part of their college course.

I received an email from Debra Curran who is a photography student currently studying The History of Photography. One of the course requirements is to create a showcase about the work of a contemporary photographer, and fortunately for me she chose to use my work.

She sent me several questions about my images and I answered them by email.

There have been some great presentations over the years but Debra’s showcase stands head and shoulders over the rest.

You can even make your own comments on the images.

Thanks for the great presentation, Debra. It made me feel like a proper photographer.
