Its raining icepicks...

The last couple of years have seen some rather interesting shifts in media for DUFI. We have gone from working with spray paint to sandblasting stone, and now our latest ventures have taken us in a new direction again... cast iron!

We have recently designed the original drain gullies for Baron Taylor Street in Inverness. We worked in conjunction with Ballantines Creative Ironworks in Bo'ness.

Here are a few images of the gullies going through the production process!

Lay it down easy but lay it on me

The Inverness Old Town street project is moving along nicely - and although we have not posted about it recently, it has been very much alive!

To date we have posted five of the street text slabs on the blog, but over the last few months the project has been motoring along and we are now at the stage of laying the last few of the 24 total stones.

Listed below are a few tasters of some of the recent stones as well as some images to give you an idea of how they look once installed.

I saw a sign in the sky: seven swans.

One of the DUFI projects that has been simmering on our little creative back burner for several months (like a good old pot of stew!) is a commission we recieved to produce works for the new health centre in Fort William.

As part of our research and development for this project we worked with Lochaber High School Support for Learning Department. We spent a morning with the young people in the department, and had a lot of fun doing chalk stencils as well as some great chat.

In the end, we decided to make our commission a tribute to these young people. Using their stories and anecdotes as inspiration and texture for the piece. As some of you might remember, when we mentioned this commission before, we said that it was going to be a series of four works, but in true DUFI style this has grown limbs! The final work is one piece called BELLASQUEAKTHUMPER, a series of seven portraits!

Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all

As some of you might remember - last summer we worked with some of the youngins in Brora to produce a stencil piece for the wall of the local co-op. As the shop was in the process of being renovated it was agreed that the hanging of the work would be postponed.

Well, time does fly! But the panels were finally fixed to the wall and, hat's off to the group, it looks good!

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight.

We were asked to produce a temporary installation in the newly refurbished Eden Court.

To combine our love for stencil art and music we decided to create "Teenage Kicks".

The installation included 22 LP’s mounted on the wall (as a rather large DUFI!), as well as a living room opposite (yes that is right, we created your gran's front room in the lobby of Eden Court), which included an record player, an 80's medical handbook (our instructions) and the school jotter (our visitors book).



Three of the records were spray painted, the other 19 were removable and could be played on the retro record player.

Now we would love to say that we grew up listening to early hip hop and alternative music, but the truth is it was a whole lot uglier than that.



The albums included in this collection were as follows:

Elvis – The U.S. Male (1970)
The Sound Of Music (1965)
A-ha – Hunting High & Low (1985)
Michael Jackson – Bad (1987)
The Family Brown – The Best Of Country Gospel (1978)
Nana Mouskouri – Alone (1985)
Simon & Garfunkel – Greatest Hits (1972)
Runrig – Heartland (1985)
Holst – The Planets (1981)
Blondie – Eat To The Beat (1979)
Dayuma – From The Stage Production (unknown)
Def Leppard – Hysteria (1987)
Scottish Metrical Psalms (1966)
Rush – The Spirit Of Radio (1980)
Dire Straits – Brothers In Arms (1985)
Deacon Blue – When The World Knows Your Name (1989)
Hits 5 (1986)
The Great Johnny Cash (1970)
Country & Western Jamboree (unknown)
Marillion – Misplaced Childhood (1985)

Got ma nuts from a hippy.

Inverness is getting all holier than thou! The great artist Matt Baker has recently completed leading a team in the installation of the Three Virtues on Church Street in Inverness. The artwork was created after a year long process with local people suggesting ‘Virtues’ for 21st Century Inverness.

To help mark the launch (on 6 March) several artists were asked to create installations in the shop windows surrounding the virtues. As part of this, we created a two week long narrative in the shop front of a empty shop unit.

But do not fear, with DUFI the surreal is always near. We decided to characterise the virtues and ended up writing our own fable of the forest. The story was written in instalments, on the shop window, over the two weeks leading up to the event. And yes, the animals are real - but as exciting as all this was, I am sure they all felt a lot friskier before they were stuffed! (However, the badger seems to be a somewhat more sociable creature then we all expected – he now has his own bebo page).

Thanks to Inverness Museum for lending us the critters.
