I went home this week, a far to rare occurence</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this landscape was my playground as a child, wild band of youngsters finding the delight in throwing toadstools and jumping in Cow pats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My youngest asked how many times I'd been in the field at the rear of my family home, not just my family home but my Dad moved there when he was 4yrs and is now hitting his 80's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is something nice about evolving traditions with the next generation and I really like the idea of the links with the past and how they infiltrate the present.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm currently working on a involved piece that is summarising that very feel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
starting with my Dads dad who was gassed in the trenches in France.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm looking at the development of hand granades in WW1 and how the inginuity of the troops, can translate into an art piece that blend handmade genrades out of Jam tins and lessons on cricketand the ability to chuck a boomb really far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
an essential asset.</div>

While I'm picking up chocolate wrappers...................... I'm thinking of packing up waterproofs.<br />
<br />
while I'm considering the impact and horrors of the slave trade..................... I'm bleaching the toilet.<br />
<br />
While I'm guilt ridden about the length of the grass,............ I'm pondering the length of the love affair.<br />
<br />
I'm considering the space and trying desperately not to over fill it............ while a percentage of me is desperately remembering it's a part over the total.<br />

Today my brain is full, some of it not so productive.</div>Re:formhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09899784229498076097noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36258730.post-71589152549639918592012-07-02T09:05:00.003-07:002012-07-02T09:05:27.985-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

The Leigh art trail is over and now I have to turn my thoughts towards the north...Denmark.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> In fact 8 of us from LAT have been lucky enough to exhibit over there I'm working on an installation called the the gilded thread that will involve a pathway of threads, ropes and cottons threading their way through Hvide Sande. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>LEIGH ART TRAIL</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's that time of year again, the manic rollacoaster of " Is this any good......No really tell me what you think.........but that how I want it to look.!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Leigh Art Trail is running from 16th -23rd of June I'll take up my resident place in a clean and hopefully tidy studio.</span><br />

<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This week I've achieved or at least at the moment I think I have, only time may have an alternative view on things.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">After deceiving my son about the actual day of his birthday- in my defence he has only just worked out what days are in a week let alone the order that they come in. I denied him even further by bucking the party bag trend, something which gave me a massive sense of achievement and entertainment as a group of 5yr old boys left kids kingdom with bandito style tashs instead of the obligitory plastic crap.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">After days possibly weeks of apprehension I took part in <a href="http://www.pecha-kucha.org/night/southend-on-sea/8">Pecha Kucha#8</a> in Southend</span>
<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">where I fought against my nerves a set continually moving of images that lay my soul open to any arts interested party that cared to view. I hit the mark with each slide and bit my tongue to prevent the usual prattle that can emerge from an uncomfortable mouth.</span></div></div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Wether good or bad I'm not sure, lots of positive comments, the constructive would probably give me a better insight.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">There does come a point in your life when you just have to close the cupboard door and resist from picking at the bones left within.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I've come to that point.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm working on some new pieces that play with the mistakes,accuracy and gaps in information that we leave for future generations.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">My concern is not so much what is said but what isn't and how we read or misread that information or lack of it.</span></div>

<div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We moan and groan...well I do at times</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">and sometimes what is required is to just take a step back and reflect</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">a chance to pause</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">and listen to the quiet</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Just lately my life has been twisted and tilted a little</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">a close friend dying and now being single after 13yrs..... yes I said 13yrs (it could be 14, I'm not really sure...I was probably busy at the time)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span>
</div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Throughout this I felt like I can cope, with whatever
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I've always got that creative element that pre occupies and in truth probably dominates or shields my brain.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Maybe it's selfish .....I don't know...</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Maya is a talented ex student of mine, and a wonderful example of the sheer compelling power of doing,.....the need to be creative .... to make stuff.</span>
</div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I find the energy and commitment to this creative outlet an astounding and powerful thing.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">the distraction of my tilts and shifts fade away</span></div>

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">or not so important stuff if you not in my shoes- it all depends on where your standing,</span>
<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">sometimes all you really want to do is spend time in the studio, sitting on my own with Radio 4 in the background,</span>
<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">sometimes all I want to do is be surrounded by the kids laughing,</span>
<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">sometimes its soo good just to break away and breath,</span>
<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">sometimes i like standing in the middle of a rain storm or have the waves crashing around you( only when it's warm tho, I'm a bit nesh)</span>
<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">sometimes you can't control what happens to you, only how you react to it,</span>
<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">sometimes I just want to sleep for days on end,</span>

<div>Gosh it's been a busy old few weeks, </div>
<div>quite frankly i'm shattered, absolutely bloody knackered.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Leigh art trail went very well and the studio rent is paid for a while</div>
<div>East's exhibition pieces selected , and then sold-shit now need to do some more</div>
<div>Students show looked good, regardless of the moany people that are never satisfied.</div>
<div>Yvonne Pedretti's retrospective -it was brilliant to see a lifetime of work in one place</div>
<div><span style="font-size:78%;">I miss her so much,every day something is not quite right and i then remember</span></div>
<div>I did a speech and didn't cry, which is always a bonus</div>
<div>I found out about secret lives, and the most beautiful images ever.</div>
<div></div>
<div>So i think I'm closing a door, and starting down a new road lets hope it's a little less bumpy</div>
<div>thankyou everyone that came to my rescue.</div>
