New Projects – Our New Form of Artistic Installation aka ‘The Quilt’ Is Ready!

13/09/201811/09/2018 by Joanne Carter

We’re delighted to inform our readers that the quilt that so many of you contributed to, has now been completed. For those of you not aware of this project, it involved mobile artists contributing one image and each one was then carefully included within a large quilt to be displayed at the next gallery show or even Mobile Arts Festival. There has been a few obstacles along the way and we have overcome each one. This quilt was sewed together and finalised by none other than mobile artist, Lorenka Campos’ mother in law. We all owe her much gratitude. The quilt is now with Lorenka Campos, so if you would like to display it at your next event, please contact her for details.

I have also been reminded and I shouldn’t have needed to be however, “Linda Toki did the whole layout of the quilt and had it printed. She also spent days working on the catalog so I really think she deserves a shout out as the quilt would never have happened without her”. We all need to give huge thanks to Linda M. Toki – join me!!

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Joyce Harkin from the United Kingdom

24/07/201824/07/2018 by Joanne Carter

Today, we are publishing our twenty seventh visual interview, this time with Joyce Harkin from the United Kingdom. Harkin’s art is an amalgamation of dichotomies: inside/outside, public/private, high/low – all dynamic. Her images speak eloquently to us about our own life experiences at the same depicting her own. One of Harkin’s most admirable qualities as an artist, is her hunger for inspiration and this is reflected in her varied work. When embarking on a new creation, Harkin reaches the summit, she uniquely manages to not only arrive with an aesthetically pleasing visual image but one which ensures all the elements involved are included as intended.

I am so excited about this new Interview section within TheAppWhisperer. A picture speaks a thousand words, so says the English language idiom and as this is a website by and for visual artists, we felt this section was long overdue. We asked a series of mobile photographers and artists ten questions, in text format and we asked them to respond in their very best way, visually and in their own style of photography/art, the results are unique and incredibly exciting.

To read our previously published interviews, with Deborah McMillion, M. Cecilia Sao Thiago, Christine Sobczak, Liliana Schwitter, Armineh Hovanesian, Lorenka Campos, Donna Donato, Eliza Badoiu, Juta Jazz, Susan Rennie, Kate Zari Roberts, Lynette Sheppard, Debara Splendorio, Irene Oleksiuk, Davide Capponi, Vanessa Vox, Amanda Parker, Clint Cline, Christine Mignon, Bonobo Stone, Jerry Jobe, Joshua Sarinana, Meri Walker, Alexis Rotella, Jenny Pieters and Alon Goldsmith please go here.

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Jenny Pieters from Johannesburg, South Africa

08/07/201806/07/2018 by Joanne Carter

Today, we are publishing our twenty fifth visual interview, this time with Jenny Pieters from South Africa. Pieters art strikes me as bursting with emotional depth and context. There’s a tenderness within her way of seeing, mixed with hope and despair but more so with light. With an evocation of time and place, her images imbue a deep sense interconnecting with us all, deeply. Her work is about honesty and trust with immense integrity and deserving of our unmitigated respect. (foreword by Joanne Carter)

Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @sunflowerof 21 – Days 18 – 21

07/05/2018 by Joanne Carter

We are so grateful to @sunflowerof21 – Elaine Taylor, whom we entrusted with our Instagram account for 21 days after she was gracefully handed the baton by @tankaqueen – Alexis Rotella. To view all the posts in the series, please go here. Or of course, head over to our @theappwhisperer Instagram account.

On Day 18 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @ikebana_jen – Jennifer Thomas and she writes “@sunflowerof21 here with my next feature from #theappwhisperer tag. What a pleasure it is to share Jen’s image – it’s absolutely gorgeous and so beautifully edited. I adore the textures, details, colours and mood. It’s a work of art!”.

On Day 19 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @italianbrother – Dilshad Corleone and she writes “This is stunning. Those eyes! I love Dil’s portraits – they’re always so captivating and attention-grabbing. Each face full of character, giving a hint to its own unique story. What a treat it is to feature Dil’s work as part of my takeover here. ~ @sunflowerof21″

On Day 20 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @hipstaniteaelle and she writes “I’m a huge fan of the Hipstamatic app. It was the first app I ever downloaded and the one that started my mobile photography passion. Through doing my Hipstamatic 365 project (@sunflowerof21_365) I’ve discovered some amazing igers who use the app to create their images. @hipstanitaelle is one of those. Her feed is wonderful, and full of great Hipstamatic combos. This image is one of my favourites – I love it! ~ @sunflowerof21″.

On Day 21 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @iphoneartgirl – Meri Walker and she writes “@sunflowerof21 here with my final selection from the #theappwhisperer tag. What a beautiful way to finish this takeover. I’ve saved one of my favourites until last. Meri is an amazing mobile artist and an absolute gem in the mobile photography world. One in a million!”

Later on Day 21 @sunflowerof21 dedicated a beautiful image to myself, what an honour, thank you so much dear Elaine and she writes “Hello. @sunflowerof21 signing off from my takeover. Thanks to everyone who followed along. It’s been an honour and a pleasure to have had the reigns of this account over the past 3 weeks. I’m dedicating this image, one of my own, to Joanne Carter to say thank you for for the opportunity. And now I hand the reigns over to one of the best mobile photographers I know – @luison/@luison_street . I’ve shouted loud about how much of a fan I am of his work. I can’t wait to see his selections. Have fun Luis!”

So, very sadly for us we have to ask @sunflowerof21 to hand over the baton to our next featured artist. We are going to miss her (but we have a feeling, she’s not going too far 😉 and we do know that you are all going to be very excited indeed when we tell you who she is handing over the baton to next.
