WHAT IS
This is a writing technique that can banish writers block forever. It is also used to retrieve material buried so deep in
one’s conscious memory that is difficult to access. It
can be used to express feelings with
just the right words, or it may
bring back an incident that, put in another setting, can give meaning and life to what you are
writing. It helps to bring out your own voice, where intellectually conscious writing,
although it can be very good, tends to imitate the style of others. It can help develop your
own style and imagery. When we write Freefall
we come very
close to reliving the original moment/feeling/experience so that your writing tends to be more vivid and
richer. Freefall helps you to get to the point
where your writing will flow smoothly
and effortlessly.

JORDAN BROADWORTH: Survey
The death of painting is one of painting’s
more enduring themes. The story of the medium’s demise
and rebirth has been repeated, retold and reenacted so often that it underlies
the breadth of contemporary practice. With death and
resurrection built into its foundation, collapse anticipates reinvention and
triumph chases ruin. Within this complexity painting’s
failures and inadequacies are as valid a starting point and as rich in
potential as its strengths and high-water-marks.
Influenced by John Cage, (‘We are involved in life that passes understanding
and our highest business is our daily life.”) Broadwoth’s early paintings incorporated many transient, found
elements. The lines in this work came from knot-tying diagrams. The wooden inserts were made from discarded easels that
once belonged to institutions where he had studied. Marks
and patterns were created with industrial cast-offs from various factories he
had worked. Gingerbread motifs from houses he had
lived in also made their way into these paintings. The
work of the past decade has focused on the nature of gesture and the role of
the signature. Broadworth
collects, fragments and reorders signatures to form painterly building blocks. Using an additive-subtractive painting process, the
presence of the gesture is revealed through absence. The
play between positive and negative space makes implicit both what remains and
that which has been removed.
Painting is not limited to concepts of itself; rather it is intrinsically
linked to larger concepts. Broadworth’s
work has been an ongoing investigation into why building-up necessitates
taking-down and how absence haunts the structures of vision. Painting is
a tech-less medium born of immediate experience. We
live in a world increasingly mediated by technology. Broadworth tries to bridge the gap.
