Crafts Magazine Review - JCM
Thanks to Anna bates for a good review for the work presented a the Jerwood Space.
"Digital craftsman Geoffrey Mann is a good exemplar of this. The self-named product artist uses CAD modelling, cinematic stop-motion techniques and rapid prototyping to capture the shape of movement and turn it into a sculpture. Mann is already known for shaking things up, turning up at shows to unwrap pieces he’s never touched. He’s the cliché choice for anyone wanting to open a discussion on what ‘making’ is; his dabbling with ultra-modern processes and thirst for debate also brings some relevance – and even cool – to a show in need of both, so a good choice for laying down the show’s aims."

I'm still not sure if I am a Digital Craftsman or even my own titled Product Artis, I starting to believe that you can simply be called a Contemporary Maker.
Also I'm a big fan of this quote by Rebecca Earley.
"'We knew it would be more of a design show than a making show this year,' says textile designer, and judge Rebecca Earley, aware that one sharer of Jerwood’s £30,000 Contemporary Makers prize has never laid hands on his work"
I will be discussing my time in the States at BECon in Portland and also my meeting with David McFadden soon.
