All images in this gallery are photographs I have taken myself and manipulated the colour. They are the memory series, exaggerating how memory works where we only clearly remember that which got our attention, well speaking for myself of course.

Locked Down Collaborative Works: Ritchie and Lane • 2 artworks

Locked down and isolated in my den I began the 'Memory Series', photographs I took in Tokyo, Japan 2019[...]
Locked down and isolated in my den I began the 'Memory Series', photographs I took in Tokyo, Japan 2019 of seemingly every day life. That's gone for the foreseeable future. COVID-19 happened. I began suddenly longing for these moments of normal life that I took as an observer. I began stripping the colour out of the images leaving only the highlights of my memories of that day, of that specific moment. This became important to me in my isolation.
I am in the south of the UK working alone, a friend of mine Jim Ritchie, an artist in the North of the UK, (now as distant as the moon under lockdown), was also creating digital works. Ritchies' works are narratives based on futuristic sci-fi cityscapes of brutalist architecture. To quote him: "I think there is a bit of escapism involved within some of my images."
I wondered what these would look like together. So sent him a message would he like to collaborate on some works, he said yes.
Jim and I have never met irl, we became friends on FB some years ago. It is quite refreshing and also scary to work on another artists work. I was quite happy for him to alter mine as I do love his work and trusted I would love what ever he did. The problem I found was not what he would do to my work but will I do his work justice, and suddenly for the first time ever I had a fear of ruining... (Artists should have no fear, imo). However it is digital. So I am going to shake that fear and go 'DO!'
Connections and remaining connected to people is more important now than ever. Never before has our life been so precarious world wide. Trump and Putin are today still playing the pissing contest with nukes. Fires are still raging in some parts of the world. The planet is having some respite from our never ending need to rip it apart. Will this terrible pandemic end this? Will we change for the better as a human race?
The work we have created between us is not Futurism or Postfuturism although some aspects are the same: "To reclaim the power of media from the merchants and return it to the poets and the sages" -F. T. Marinetti', The Post-Futurist Manifest, February 1909, nor is it the idealistic architecture of Neofuturism, with glistening towers and clear blue skies. The works are 'Post Neofuturism' as a direct result of what is happening in the world right now. It is accepting of the past, which is our present and moving forward with what we have. It is inclusion not division. This work happened as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Walks taken whilst in Tokyo at night, midnight and beyond, it moves into the realm of the uncanny as the images of suburban houses and buildings stand quiet and in sleep. Is this really the busiest place on the planet? It is by definition one of the safest and it was such a joy to feel that freedom as a woman alone.
I have been mapping where I wander in Tokyo in the small hours of the night, and documenting with photos. I use the word ‘wander’ as I do not plan my walks, just each night a new area. Last night I was accompanied by Haruyuki Kobayashi san and a film crew from the Fuji TV morning show “Tokudane!” who are covering a story on visitors to Tokyo. I met them quite by chance whilst I was walking to Shinjuku. They were interested in what I do as an artist wandering about at night. Did I feel safe? What did my work entail? Yes completely safe, it is one of the best things ever, International Women’s Day every day, Women are safe to roam here at night without fear, I'll repeat that, women can walk alone at night without fear of attack and then being blamed for being out alone... So I have been able work on a project in the small hours that may never have been possible in any other city as a lone female artist.
At night the regular building images take on a new perspective, with crisp clean lines, and block colour, stark yet beautiful in their simplicity and uniformity. Constantly repeating patterns within the towering heights. Japan has a way to make this type of architecture work I think it is the cleanliness of the cities. So it takes on this Corbusier idealism, although incredibly densely packed it is minimalist. Or I am just talking twaddle as usual? I do that a lot. Even the old run down buildings keep their clarity. No piles of trash collecting in grubby corners of disinherited and unwanted buildings. At home in UK our governing bodies would rather you did not look, as they distract your attention away from uncared for and unloved areas to their shiny new builds, which no doubt have the same grubby run down future in store.
I love the atmosphere at night in Tokyo with many of these smaller areas feeling as if you have stumbled across some alternate reality that is a mix of J.K. Rowlings 'Potterverse' and Enid Blytons’ tales. The occupants of the buildings leave their bikes leant against railings with no worries it will be gone by morning. Yet this is in the centre of Tokyo, one of the largest cities in the world if not the largest.
Here most buildings, homes or apartments have people in, the lines and cables above the street connecting each. At night when it is so peaceful I wonder about the occupants of the buildings and how their daily lives play out. What is it like to be someone else? Something none of us will really know, but the lines continue connecting. So without really planning a set course of action it has happened. I just followed my gut instinct, the inarticulate mind. I found I was attracted to the really interesting architecture which I then focused on, once again the Corbusier crispness of the structures mixed with the masses of over head cables connecting each building. Connecting people in an abstract way. It struck me I have gone crazy with the colour, all my images becoming more and more vivid. I think it is related to how vibrant Tokyo is, I do not mean the neon lights or colour in a literal sense I mean how alive this place is and how it makes me feel, and that is expressed in the art I produce!

Biography
Tina Lane is a British visual artist who works with installation, sculpture, photography, media, and performance in her interdisciplinary art practice. His projects evolve in response to the needs of the site, working in collaboration and communication with people, places, and psychology.
At the moment, her work is focused on human relationships, identity, memory, and mortality. She strives to address, rather than resolve, the uncertainty of fitting into established systems and patterns of thought through her art. It's satiating a basic want to communicate non-verbally and visually by making the art as inclusive and engaging as possible, without regard for language. Visualizing inarticulate brains functioning via material and performative processes demonstrates this investigation of the 'gut feeling' or 'instinct,' and enables creative mobility.
Tina Lane received a BA (Hons) First in Fine Art from Southampton Solent University, where she was awarded the CVAN SE Platform Graduate Award by Aspex Gallery and Solent Showcase Gallery for Best of Degree Shows in 2015. Following that, she took residencies in India and Japan. In 2018, she earned a Distinction in her MA in Fine Art from Winchester School of Art.

More experimental play using my own photography and drawing over it to create a series of frames to animate. (I accidentally wrote TinLane and thought ok sounds good to me).
Added May 18, 2020
Experimenting with the medium through play. Today was lowering and raising the pitch on my own voice then adding it to the short. The photography is my own, I decided on a panoramic view for the width then using my finger on a laptop drew over the image creating a series of frames to animate.
Added May 15, 2020
Just enjoying playing and experimenting with moving image, to avoid worry of license over sounds I use my own sound bank or record my own voice and distort it.
Added May 13, 2020
A short moving image using my photography and finger drawing on the laptop mouse pad. I have become more and more interested in moving image so this was a great opportunity to use images I already had for a project in a new direction. We use what we have available to us in lockdown. This I believe is one of my strengths, I adapt. I like many artists have been hit quite hard by the lockdown and with little in the way of money and resources it was up to me to find new ways to continue being creative. The added sounds are also from my own recordings.
It is a visual representation based on the theory by James Lovelock of Earth’s atmosphere as “a component part of the biosphere rather than as a mere environment for life” (J. E. Lovelock and L. Margulis Tellus, 1974). It starts slow, that was deliberate.
Of course most of my images are of Japan, specifically Tokyo. Actually I did consider should I use those and then thought actually it is perfect as a people they do have a greater understanding of working together as part of the whole than we in the west.

A Dream of a Concrete Boat
The retelling of the story of the concrete boat; a tale inspired by a sleepless night and an accidental object.
An immersive experience, experimental installation and performance exploring layers of confusion and belonging through sound, light and objects.
Xiao Xiao on Set
This is a piece devised by Rochyne Delaney McNulty, an MA performance design student at the University of Leeds, in collaboration with Jonathan Parker (hoppla creative and Inkwell arts) and with much help from the technicians from stage@leeds.
The piece is story, and originally an object and promenade performance, through experiences with technology and live performance it has developed it into a sound installation with interactive live elements. It requires you to listen, interact and make choices.

WSA MA Show, 2018. Being Human. Video Documentation
The first part of the video is just recording the sounds of the bars within the space prior to the completion of the installation. At this stage no lighting had been added.
The second part, (1:16) is showing visitors engaging with the work when it was complete with the lighting effect. It was quite impromptu, so all I had was my phone to record on. They gave me permission to use it.

Where do I begin?? Two glorious months in amazing Tokyo.
Highlights:
I mostly used digital imagery as I took night walks around the the back streets of Tokyo. Each night a different area, incredibly safe.
My work was documented for Fuji Television.
I created work from what was available and visited so many galleries I lost count.

Submit.Exhibit. Is an exhibition that celebrates risk taking and impulsiveness. The selected artists are challenging their all too common fear of the blank page. By making work in only five minutes. This leaves no room for panic or doubt, leaving only creative instinct.
This exhibition brings together otherwise unrelated artists, from differing disciplines and locations, linked only by those short 5 minutes. With no constraints other than time, the artists were free to indulge in the playfulness of creativity.
Curated and organised by Molly Newport and Chloe Beecham.
