Diagrams for the Summoning of Wolves by *AR, released 02 February 2015 1. Hand Gestures, Scents, Markings Fourth in a series of recordings made by Autumn Richardson & Richard Skelton for the Furness Fells of south-west Cumbria, UK: 'Diagrams for the Summoning of Wolves' marks a stark shift in their response to environmental degradation.

My collaborator had used our examination of the natural and abstract imagery of witch craft to create a video that fantastically captured the 'timeless', almost alien aesthetic I had intended for the Greymalkin character. The ethereal effects reminded me of an atmosphere track I pointed her towards and I began to outline the multi-media presentation we could utilise in the 'presentation...'

# data[].attributes.body
The basics of my original character was a witch-like folk deity called 'Greymalkin' and my original idea was to document the recon and capture 'mission' by JUDE in my Foundation™ clerical style.

# data[].attributes.body
Because the visual imagery of my partners work was so striking I actually wrote a lot before I had time to self edit myself into my own parameters - what emerged was a pure descriptive short story using surreal temporal structure and a much deeper character than I had originally envisioned.

The Case of The Greymalkin Witch-monster

Once i had an idea that i thought I could spitball into a passable short story I sent it across - and the video response (below) allowed me to focus the imagery and themes of the story

i don't have a diary - but oftentimes recording and trialling ideas and language in 140 characters or less is a helpful tool to reduce a narrative into the crux of an idea.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course I wanted to introduce some originality into the piece so I decided to derive the setting and broader thematics from my collaborator = so I decided to focus craft the story to the collaborative creative process, which was surprisingly helpful.

As soon as I had decided on the format I knew a character I wanted to explore was JUDE; figurehead and recurring cast member in many of my case files.

Whilst i approached this subject from the horror/surrealism angle, she had a more naturalist and pagan envisioning of the idea, which provided a helpful counterpoint.

Witches and Faustian compacts had been a part of my influences for some time and when my partner mentioned an interest in the area I had another course alignment and sent her a particularly useful link I had previously used:

The very first completed piece of work I sent was my final CW summative for that semester. This was based off of some local folklore of East Anglia (the black shuck) that prompted a discussion of the supernatural.

Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery Blu-ray -- Atmospherics: "Trees/Woods"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Included in the TWIN PEAKS: THE ENTIRE MYSTERY boxset are 10 vignettes of iconic Twin Peaks themes featuring a unique montage of music, dialogue and video (including rare outtakes) that appear as both menu backgrounds and as their own textless immersive experience. Look for more previews from the TWIN PEAKS: THE ENTIRE MYSTERY Blu-ray every Twin Peaks Tuesday.

My collab partners style was influenced by a lot of natural  imagery and distortion which I was totally on board with. After telling her about the best TV show of all time TWIN PEAKS she took some influence and adapted a few visuals as a prompt for me:

Previous use of this 'case-log' style was my attempt of the modern epistolary narrative. Diaries are for nerds, long form statistical analysis and documentation is for cools.

Childish Gambino Alien Theory Lyrics: Whether you like Childish Gambino, or Donald Glover, or despise Gambino, this will surely interest you. Many of us love Childish Gambino and his music. For many reasons. He is

I suggested some examples where seemingly random visuals are significant of a deeper narrative ie:

My collaborator is a third year arts student interested in photography and cinematography. Whilst I wasn't immediately helpful in the project her prompts and influences encouraged me (=made me look bad for not doing work).

One of my greatest influences is a creepypasta-esque online horror compendium called SCP - basically an incredibly governmental/official format for short horror stories and character development.

'Presenting' a character from my existing pantheon seemed utterly distasteful to me, until I realised that the meta-theatrical element of the final presentation could be used as a further layer of the narrative.

She seemed nice. Had a drink at the bar, ended up bitching about generically surreal and meaningless music videos.

Keith Haring's work reminded me of what I imagined another painters work might look like...

# data[].attributes.body
'Some artists like to coddle their children. Some work is viewed as a mewling orphan that is to be sheltered from the biting cold - lest its little hands and feet turn blue and transmute into snakes that drop out of your hands before you have a chance to really hold them down. THE PAINTER™ liked to make his art fight. In his eyes, each painting was on its fucking own.

He had never quite healed from the fire.

If a painting is going well, he reasoned, it is ones executive duty to release monsters into it. Introduce a brandy-drunk gorilla into the flamingo enclosure and count the blood stains.

Once upon a time he had suffered many burns. Mostly on his legs. Mostly on his arms. Mostly on his face.'

Feb 3 2017 - Realised possibility during pic prompt exercise today to take existing character in a different direction using visual prompt. Previously I was afraid of trying to 'fabricate' a new character to suit NUA collab needs.
