Since the last post the piece at The Junction has been staged. I think it went ok – difficult to say especially since I was not in the theatre but controlling the performance from offstage. Safe to say that the piece is a beginning and will be worked on to develop it more before a re-showing. The best thing about the event was the camerarderie amongst the artists at The Junction – so much mutual support.
I am writing this from Rosie’s front room in Roundstone. For it is that time of year and I have been really lucky to be invited back to spend time on Inishlacken. The residency this year has fifteen artists, as before writers, painters, conceptual artists and photographers. The weather has been kind with much good work being made today. the first day. Tomorrow we will return mid morning and i intend to make a series of drawings on postcards bought in the village shop. I am keen to explore the link between home and here, the journey around the island mirrored with my journey from England to Ireland.
More news from here tomorrow
