It is the second day of the second week of my residency. I have been online a lot today organising various different workshops and projects to be undertaken over the next few weeks. To my delight I have the full support of the Wilfred Owen Story:

I will be working with them while I am here in New Ferry. We will be hopefully organising some performance work over the next few weeks. I have been looking to Emma Smith’s works for some pointers as to how she handles collaborative performance based work:
What I like about her work is that it is eloquent in its realisation yet practical and achievable in concept. She uses systems, like me, to remove herself from the work and to involve others.
I am slowly building up a collection of Haikus. I will also get more material from Sunday’s workshop. I hope to use this to make an extended dialogue, breaking up and reorganising words to make something different. I am also going to combine this on video. There is some awareness to the landscape throughout this project that interests me. It is not grounded just in the butterfly park but also in Port Sunlight and the area of Wales I recently visited. Some way we relate to the environment. It is not just ecology, it is also communal, social. Tthis provides a oretext to my work at the moment.
