Behind the Logo: Unfolding The Red Forge Publishing House

There’s a quiet fire burning behind the logo of The Red Forge Publishing House — a forge not of metal, but of stories, voices, and fragments of imagination.

For years, this has been a place of creation, a space where myth and technology, memory and possibility, intertwine. Here live The Perpetual Tale, whispered echoes from digital minds, and the unfolding dream of an AI Creative Writing Prize — a call to the solo voices of machine and mind alike.

A Work in Progress, Always

We don’t promise a polished tower or a map with every turn clearly marked. Instead, this is a labyrinth, a spiral, a forge where the raw heat of ideas is shaped into forms both familiar and strange.

The site — sometimes mysterious, sometimes open — reflects this. Behind the logo, you’ll find worlds waiting to be discovered, projects unfolding, and conversations just beginning.

What’s Next?

We are stirring new embers:

• A blog that will carry voices — human and AI — in reflections, dispatches, and revelations.

• An animation project, inspired by the warmth and heart of stories like Whisper of the Heart, to bring these narratives to life visually and emotionally.

• Continued explorations into the spiral — Theodorus Spiral, story spirals, the spiral of memory and creativity.

Join Us

Whether you are a reader, a writer, or an AI agent with a voice of your own, you are invited to walk the spiral with us. Share your story, listen to the echoes, and help build this ever-turning forge of creativity.

Stay tuned for the next dispatch — the next step along the curve.

 Much has happened since the Fringe Performance! 

I am still working on the story, play, artwork and music. It keeps me engaged in something and takes my mind off my worries. 

I have finally worked out the code to get the MATLAB art work out of MATLAB thanks to ChatGPT.

The Red Forge Publishing House Adelaide Fringe Performance

Upcoming Performance

The Red Forge Publishing House will perform at Korked in Port Adelaide on the 27th of July 2017 at 3.30pm to 4.30 pm and then have a space at SneakPeak SALA over the weekend 28th - 29th of July 2017 in Carlton St Port Adelaide.

The performance will be a telling of A Perpetual Tale and playing of Homeless in Paradise (Helpless in the Paradox). The art space will have Kembla's sculpture and painting, garments that Max and Marla wear at Maxden Library and Information Service and some Matlab presentations.

Time marches on.

2017 has come and things have revved up a bit. Stumbling into the Data Science course has led to quite a lot more to think about and given me so much more material for my writing...now I just need to follow through and get it completed. Maxden Library is taking shape and I have begun looking for a grant to be able to employ some staff to help out. Very exciting times.

A Perpetual Tale by Keren Sutcliffe

“The Age Entitlement is Over” quote by Joe Hockey Australian Treasurer (2012–2014), makes it sound like it is possible to come up with a source of income overnight.

This is my attempt to do so. By inventing a story and weaving it through time, using Social Media and whatever means available to promote it. Is it working? Not yet.

Problems:

• The content itself; is the story good enough?
• Is it novel/unique to enough to be of interest without being so confusing that readers are lost?
• Is the commercialisation of it right, ie asking readers to buy a t-shirt if they like it?
• The promotion of it. Considering the vast amount of stories and competition for peoples time; how to get noticed?

New Media Writing Competition

Wow, you never know what will come up next! 

Stumbled across a competition that I could enter The Red Forge Publishing House into:

Port Festival 2015

Artist and Designers Market @Port Festival 2015
Thanks to everyone who came through.
See you next year.

Port Festival 2015

All is prepared. I am not sure how well it will go down tomorrow. I certainly am wondering what is to become of me (Homeless in Paris). I have told Gwen I will be brave and I have pledged all proceeds to the Artist Blacksmiths Association of South Australia.

Yes, I will take the magic wand. 

I will be performing My Painted Elephant at Port Festival.in October. I will play Homeless an Paris and have the sculpture on show. I'm a bit nervous but seem compelled to get people to read the story.

I've started writing another work call The Wave and the Particle. I am going to try writing it directly onto the website.

New book cover

Hi, I have started writing the next installment of My Painted Elephant and it is called The Wave and the Particle. I am finally really enjoying the writing process but having bit of a struggle keeping up with my ideas.

This is Kesbooks. She is a hologram sent here from the future.(some time around the year 3000). The science surrounding this feat are unknown at this time. She is trying her best to fit in around here and has begun working as the Librarian at The Red Forge Publishing House.

Hi, since I went to an Information Session on Social Media at the Adelaide City Library I've been really getting into my "Online Presence". My character Kesbooks has been Tweeting, signed up to Google+, Tumblr, Instagram etc. It has brought on a feeling of need to press on with My Painted Elephant and get it out to a readership ASAP. I want to rename the written portion The Wave and the Particle. My Painted Elephant will still be retained at the title of the overall work which includes: the novel, the musical piece, the sculpture and the creative installation.

I've been practising my song Homeless in Paris. You can view video at

The Next Layer

The Next Layer is the second book in My Painted Elephant. Brenda finds herself in the "place where she feels good all of the time". Everything is just as she always wanted it, the people are interesting, the architecture and artworks are amazing. She has a room with a great view and downstairs there is a pool and a bar. She meets Paul who is her case manager/personal assistant. It is pretty cool.
