About:

Bright Stem has been created by Andrew Wood. Its aim is to enable new and interesting ideas to develop across a range of diverse areas. At the moment we sell a range of greeting cards, note cards and patches (in collaboration with Badger Designs and Prints), make really good music videos and have just started a research project to do with visual culture and the development of new ideas (see the Building Blocks page).

History:

Bright Stem came about through the work Andrew was doing within education which focused around building relationships between different 'things' (to see the work andrew was doing around this time please visit www.acwood.co.uk). Things could be understood in terms of: people, disciplines, materials, images. The important thing isn't what the 'thing ' is but how it relates to the other 'things'.

So bright stem was created enabeling projects to develop more freely across a multitude of areas simultaneously.

'I felt that working as an 'artist/designer' under my own name would not allow me the freedom needed to develop ideas, projects business models or research in a satisfactory way there was too much baggage that came with that. Where as Bright Stem can be understood in whatever way best suits the project/activity i.e. it can be understood as a retailer when selling cards, a production company when creating music videos or a think thank when developing research projects.'
