The exhibition at Crate was well attended – both the preview yesterday and the show today – and was the occasion for many interesting conversations – e.g. about chance and accident and my approach to materials. Also an interesting talk with fellow a-n blogger Ruth Geldard about the difference in one’s state of mind when “making” compared to “painting.” The drawings saw quite a lot of “action”, floating away from the wall as people passed by, so have a few small tears that need patching.
This morning Bob and Roberta Smith’s mirrors came to Dover and I accompanied the film crew who were after people’s reflections (literally) on East Kent – except that the spoken reflections were scripted one-liners. Unfortunately the crew were on such a tight schedule they didn’t have time to go into Dover and get an impression of the footfall in the busier part of town. Still they got all the “iconic” shots – the castle, the esplanade and the Shakespeare cliffs. I was really pleased that they took shots of Alma Tischler Woods Start/Finish line for the North Downs Way trail.

The shoot is for a film to be used in the East Kent City of Culture campaign:
I’ve also been busy making another video. It is much longer than the other two and so needs some patience to watch.
