Spent part of Monday researching textiles and other materials. This involved going round shops including Matalan, Primark, and Wilkinson’s. I realise I must have looked highly suspicious studying various odd articles in minute detail, not least because I came away empty handed. I came away to reflect, so I have to go back. Keep your eyes peeled for an appearance on Crimewatch…
Every once in a while I have to remind myself that I enjoy the bad weather as much as I enjoy the good. Yesterday morning was one of those times. I know, for sure, that this is merely a state of mind, heavily – if not completely – influenced by mood, energy and countless factors other than the weather itself. That makes me feel better about it, and the reminder apposite and worthwhile. Often, when I write, I also have a metaphor in mind. This is one of those times.
Settled on materials, and started paint on another work. I suddenly realised that I now have less than two weeks left in studio 22.
