5 weeks ago I arrived here in Shetland, exactly half way through the residency, and to celebrate it was one of those magical Shetland mornings….the sea a flat calm, a reim calm like a sheet of steel, maybe that is why I felt the tide beginning to turn to today and a need to focus on the proposals for the final artwork. I am planning to set aside Wednesdays to have the space to let the ideas grow, I am quite slow at this I know and need to probably go off on lots of tangents and spend time on drawing and making things that will more than likely not be used for the end work, such is the process. Including looking at things that have nothing to do with fishing, like this the remains of the bonfire.
