Starting with a Photograph
An exhibition of Saatchi Online Artists at Michael Hoppen Contemporary
10th September – 12th October 2009
Michael Hoppen Contemporary is delighted to collaborate with Saatchi Online for an exhibition of work by six artists, hand-picked from the Saatchi Gallery website. Entitled Starting with a Photograph, the key criterion is that the work must begin with a photographic image -found or made. Beyond that, each piece is unique, sharing only an interest in exploring and expanding the limits of photography. The exhibition will take place at Michael Hoppen Contemporary, situated close to the new Saatchi headquarters on the King's Road in Chelsea, and will open on the 10th September.
The show is curated by Rebecca Wilson, head of development and editor of Saatchi Online with support from Charlotte Nation, director of Michael Hoppen Contemporary. The artists exhibiting range from individuals who have not yet been seen to emerging talents. The work chosen shows not only the wide range of work at Saatchi Online, but also thevery high standard presented on the site

aaaah
Phonetics (from the Greek: φωνή, phōnē, "sound, voice", pronounced /fɵˈnɛtɨks/) is a branch of linguistics that comprises the study of the sounds of human speech.[1] It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds (phones), and the processes of their physiological production, auditory reception, and neurophysiological perception.
Phonetics was studied as early as 2500 years ago in ancient India, with Pāṇini's account of the place and manner of articulation of consonants in his 5th century BC treatise on Sanskrit. The major Indic alphabets today order their consonants according to Pāṇini's classification.

Stones throw
The Monkey Fist is used as an end knot for a heaving line.
A heaving line is a line used for throwing from one location to another.
This enables a larger line that could not be thrown over the distance to be pulled over.
The most common use of a heaving line is at sea, to pull a cable to shore from a ship.
A cable is not easily thrown over a distance of 10m [ ft]or more, so instead one throws a heaving line. The line is tied to the cable and when it has been received the cable can then be pulled over. To make it easier to throw one needs to connect a weight on the end of the line - usually a stone, lead-ball or a small bag of sand is connected to the end.
Better still a small rope ball is tied on the end.
It is neat, it will endure many tosses last long and it is easily thrown.
That is what the monkey fist is was originally used for.
Now it is also used as fancy knot for key-rings, necklaces and so on.
The knot can be done with or without a central core (i.e. a round stone or ball bearing) to add extra weight but it is recommended to use extra loops depending on the size of the object.
Monkey's Fist
Make three turns round the hand.
Start making turns passing outside the middle of the first three turns.
Complete the three second turns.
Make three more turns passing inside the first set of turns and outside the second set.
Tighten up the knot round a soft core, e.g. a ball of ropeyarn. Splice or whip the end to the standing part
