Good to catch up with Rosie Gibson in the macrobert arts centre.
Rosie and I graduated in 2001 from Glasgow School of Art and she is currently working as artist in residence at th Macrobert researching a sculpture project for children.
Meanwhile it is all happening for older artists in Scotland.
Our Keep Dancing class, ( run by the macrobert arts centre), has grown legs.
Literally. One of our members, Anne Aiken, has launched a tap-dancing class for adults.
This month sees the launch of Luminate, the first ever festival on ageing in Scotland.
Stirling’s contribution is a new theatre performance by dance artist Natasha Gilmore called Ultra Violet, an intergenerational event which will be premiered at the Macrobert Arts Centre at the end of the month.
With deep regret I had to pull out because of other commitments but it looks like a most exciting project.
I have just finished another book on Wales – what a relief!-so I can now get back to doing some visual work.
After all I do have a solo exhibition coming up in the Spring. So it is back to the drawing board, or iPad in my case.
