As always the new year is a time for reflection. Thinking about how the project was progressing made me remember a research trip Mette and I took to Croft Castle in November to see the ‘tell it to the trees’ exhibition. On that visit I bought an old used book from the castle, fittingly ‘The Knight of the Burning Pestle’. This book has it’s own history, having been annotated and lent for many years. From it I have created an altered book, to reflect my memories of that shared time, and adding another layer of history. I have chosen not to include images I took on that day but have cut the paper and added thread to form a physical representation of our experience. I hope it will trigger the same memories in Mette, I am sending it to her so she can respond to it.
