The Haden Hill House project ran in several newspapers and was appreciated. It has also been extended till end of October. The feeling of the work been up in the room for so long now gives me the impression that it is becoming part of the fabric of the house, the people in Rachael’s photographs, the places in my drawings. It is possible to feel them alive somehow when the house is quiet at night. The work belongs. It has worked very well, the collaboration, we are keen to start another project at some point, a new place needs to be found with the same interesting dynamics, or even more so. I think it would be good to stretch the power of history further this time, to really get to grips with strong sensations of the mysteries of life. It was a way of showing me that using my drawings in/on other forms was an interesting experiment but that I should stay with them as they are. For Rachael, I think it would be good to develop the potential in her own work away from the usual projects she is involved with, to help her engage with her self to a deeper level. What place will reveal itself will be interesting, I believe that once we start to think about it, it will be evident in its own time. For the time being, this project has become part of the history of the house, as I like to see it anyhow.
