When is public art not public?
Portsmouth – Brighton – Portsmouth
March 28th
Wake at 5am to a lit room
Dreams linger as involving and intense but subtle in their reprocessed horror peek back at me
Up – Wash – dress – eat – tea – sort train
as I walk I tweet
Sun
shining
through
opalescent sky
teasing
my walking
with
warmth
Konfirm – RT
Take advantage of confined train time to work on KS project thinking and reflection on the weeks highlights and lows – head up I am distracted looking out the window so I tweet
Swan
conference
in empty
beet field
its crow
walked
ochre soil
warms
with potential
so lonesome
I could
cry
Konfirm RT
Look away internal to the coach – people do not shut the interconecting barn door – latest sits next to texting girl – distracted by the now couple opposite so I tweet
Train
deliberately
swaying
while
buff knitted
knees
swing ever
closer
to Badge Boy
with
excited
smile

Head down – I think process – performance – orders and systemize them in order – whilst through the chalk bored opening we arrive in Brighton – tidy – leave – walk – buy scone – buy midi Irig and arrive for meeting in the Book Palace
People arrive
Meeting good – Correlated discussion
Designated chair for public art discussion
Lunch time escape for tea with Arts Council friends – Correlated discussion
Relate conversation down to he heart of the matter
Meeting good – Correlated discussion
People leave
we have finished – solo chat – leave – buy Irig keyboard – walk – buy 2 mini Pork Pies and a packet of Percy pigs as present – walk – sit – train
Eureka moment: re-figure an inconsistent statement and text as question
Konfirmed reply
We leave – Head down working on the train but distracted before Hove by the sun shining clear through the carriage I look at shadows dancing so I tweet
Sit
in shade
on the train
while
the sun
makes
the
grass
look
greener
on the
other
side
of
the
tracks

Train starts and stops before reaching fields again I notice that
The swans are still there
looking like miniature or far off white painted sauropods
while crow disguised veloceraptors dance between them
Soon I am home – walk – tea – eat – sit – watch – research – 7 minutes out again – undress – bed – think – d

neurometronome ticks onwards – cycle will be completed in 4 hours and 23 minutes
