ROCK
Journal of two Residencies:
A two month Residency in St. John’s Church, St. Leonards on Sea and
a one month Residency in Rock House (Art School) Hastings
A starting place, a place to start, a place to be, a place to look and secondly, a place to continue, to push the ideas forward.
Time to stop and think, time to make, to remake, make time (boundaries, start and finish times)
To try new ways, a new medium perhaps (paint)(stop/motion)
3 layers of clothes plus coat plus scarf and I am warm.
