Patterns of Creative Aggression presents creative works and the people behind them. It looks at methods of production for works either currently in progress or completed. It's a behind-the-scenes look into how the final works are formulated and constructed, peoples' work patterns, their methods of practice, the techniques utilised and explored, and what happens in between.
In this issue 3, Kirsten Law speaks with Jason Crombie, editor of Wooooo magazine, about his interview style and publishing projects; Tim Hillier presents two projects undertaken by brothers Andy and Mavie Murphy; British artist Graham Hudson explains the construction process behind his sculptures; Paris/New York-based photographer Justin Guilbert shares his experiences on undertaking a project in Japan; Melbourne-based artists Jen Berean and Pat Foster discuss their work with Kain Picken and Fiona Lau, the collaborative duo behind ffiXXed; and New York-based photographer Moises Saman talks about being on assignment in Haiti, Iraq, Afghanistan and El Salvador.
This magazine is a response to what people do and how they do it. It aims to present a view of the individuals beyond the works they create. Despite the difficulties surrounding the nature of exposing what is not necessarily intended to be seen, by focusing on individual's stories we can perhaps gain a clearer context to the many situations and influences that lie inherent in the development of such varied creative works.
