Hanging week again (www.colleencorlett.com) and I must admit I am enjoying a few days off from editing my images. I now have over 100 sites marked on my map and I am starting my research into the history of some of these places. I am hoping I can find old images of some of the buildings that I can superimpose over my own images. I am also looking for as much information as I can find with a view towards publishing a book at the end of the residency.
I was interviewed by the local press last week and the article should run next Friday so hopefully that will generate public interest and increase the number of visitors to the gallery. It will also help me to get first hand information about some of the sites. Unfortunately, the Manx people have been very slow to take to the internet so I am struggling to do my research online as I usually do. The Museum library will be most useful but I will have to depend a lot on local knowledge from local people.
