Fresh Start
It had the feeling of a TV game show: 48 hours to come up with a new location and concept. I rarely feel creative under pressure, but during 2 days back on Arran I was blessed with good company: two very receptive open-minded co-participants, and I think we have come up with the seeds of a GOOD IDEA – more process than product – but exciting in its open-endedness.
So I’ve been trawling back through photos and note-books, re-visiting first thoughts from the early days of the residency. It feels like scuffling the leaves of a forest floor revealing nuggets that were overlaid then forgotten. Regeneration and cycles within nature are recurring themes; a flash of memory: picking up this piece of charcoal with its unlikely splash of living green.
