In 2014 I launched my website: http://www.deanpasch.de It was an effort to provide a platform / a showcase for my visual work. I draw, I paint, I take photos - I make pictures. I love making pictures. This love dates to my childhood. I still remember the excitement I felt when seeing pictures, and the... Continue Reading →
Grass, Weeds, Alignment and the Symbolic
The scenario: You have a patch of raw earth outside, you’d like to turn into a lawn. You don’t want to slap on chunks of already grown grass (turf), but prefer starting with seeds - grass seeds, to be sown across prepared soil, and then nurtured, watered, observed, cared for and taken to a state...

A Little Green Book
https://youtu.be/XE35KbyWPUk?rel=0 I can imagine that you have a book or books, lying around where you are, now. A book that you have read, or a book that you're going to read, or a book that won't be read. I remember my first pay packet. It was literally a packet, a brown packet with with cash...

Disruption, COVID-19, SEO & Staying Structured (& Flexible)
I've been working on yesanotherblog (YAB) and 53 Fragments over the last weeks. The work has been about setting up the blog 'YAB' (yesanotherblog) - working out how I want it to look and feel, and then implementing this design and intention.

We all know the story about Hitler’s Nazism and its identification of Jewish people as the problem afflicting the world. Get rid of the Jews and everything would be so much better....

Reinvention
These are challenging times. Many of us, if not almost all of us, have been thrown out of the routines we have been used to. Some routines are connected exclusively to work (the 925, the flexi-time, freelance, interim, overtime, fulltime – you name it and it’s there – unless you happen to be unemployed or...

Combatting COVID-19 – My local supermarket’s contribution
The toilet paper drama has become a distant memory. Earlier today my (soon to be) 15-year-old son said he had been watching YouTube videos, of people around the world fighting in shops over – toilet paper. During dinner, we talked about the Coronavirus (which dominates so much right now), and the experience of shopping. Earlier... Continue Reading →
New Heroines & Heroes Fighting COVID-19
https://youtu.be/j_ISw_hBtso?rel=0 Today is the day Sunday, which Sunday? 20th of March - could be (it's actually 23 March - I'm terrible with time & dates). I popped out for a little bicycle ride, and ended up in one of my favourite corners of the English garden (in Munich, where I live). And what was really... Continue Reading →
53 Fragments (in 5 parts) – RELOADED
the idea behind 53 fragments The origin of 53 Fragments goes back to the early part of 2014 (it was launched in September 2014).The idea of a ‘serial’ creation has a tradition stretching back a long way.  How we - as artists - use this is only as restricted as our needs and imagination.
