Hello blog!
Been a while.
The solo show feels a long time ago – except for my work being in all the wrong places and detrtus all over the house and studio. Some great feedback but no work directly so far.
Am in the process of writing a proposal for a great local gallery within a museum. Have wanted to work there for a while. Recently they have tightened up their criteria in line with the new Arts Council Funding interest in museums. When I first saw it I was disappointed that I hadn’t applied before, but I now think it actually helps having tighter boundaries.
I have developed a fascination with Princess Ennigaldi who fashioned the worlds first known museum in the kingdom of Ur around 530 BC. Her museum labels were cylindrical seals……..brilliant. I feel there is something there that will simmer for a while….
Since the last blog:
My QCode is up on the Hastings seafront as part of the ‘Telling Stories: Hastings’ guerilla art project to advertise the show. Need to find time to go and see it now….http://tellingstories.info/home/telling-stories-off-the-wall
I got the TS catalogue proof through. Its the first time I have been in a quality catalogue. Looks amazing.
Ros and I have been invited to a very grown up reception on the back of the Hobby Horse Project and the fact we run Sevenoaks Art Forum unpaid.I will report back.
Looking forward to going to Whitstable for a celebration of the Kent Cultural Baton project. Will be a chance to meet all the other artists and see the final map with our project on it.
Have just come back from Fowell Hall Features V. An artists residency run by Accident and Emergence in a beautiful Kent orchard. My fourth time. Still floating… such a great weekend. Poets, writers, performance, artists…workshops, crits and connections. Nowhere like it.

Sevenoaks Art Forum has been asked to host an Arts Council funded talk by Jon Adams- lead artist for Accentuate – fascinating work. So good to see something you started because there was nothing locally growing up and being appreciated.
so – all good. Need to sort out my website next.
PS Go to soundcloud and search out the poetry of Indigo Williams. We met at Fowell Hall. What a talent.
