My partner Sue has a print ready and we've been working out how best to arrange the first viewing of each others work….
Meanwhile, I've been working on gum arabic lithos of black and white images from different places, but mostly my garden. The garden, which is a new one built and planted from scratch, has just gone through its fifth winter. I find myself more and more absorbed by the detail – especially in winter. The same things happen but are different each year, which is of course the pattern throughout all of our lives.
The blackbirds have fed from the crabapples right though the winter, there were so many that the tree looked like it was decorated for Christmas.
And I love my shed (of course) and its scruffy corners and spider graveyards.
I am also interested in places that hold remnants of other times – this image of a corner of Morecambe that hasn't been madeover yet is one of those..so a bit more printing tomorrow and then I'll see my partners print! pam
