Gathering quite a prestigious rejection letter and email pile now. Who else can I get a ‘no’ from?

On an even more positive note, my Bathe piece of work is reaching the point where I have to make it full size again, so I am sourcing materials to put it together, and this time bigger than previously made. The week has been dedicated to getting this figured out.

Went to see ‘in audible: The Baroque Cello Project’ yesterday at The Chape

l in Abergavenny and I went into it knowing next to nothing about the project and just observed and listened. This project features cellist Sion Dafydd Dawson from Cardiff and classically trained Laura Moy, curated by Leona JOnes . See

After my initial hesitation (there was a life drawing class on usually) to enter, I found myself in a large caverous chapel space, with Sion sat at the cello and playing in response to Laura’s dropping, clapping together and creatively moving the wooden shavings and offcuts from the making of the baroque cello being played. It is an intriguing installation, first performed in Cardiff Queen’s arcade in an empty shop. Observing the performance, which is not something that comes across at all via video and your device of choice, the distraction of the everyday world stills, while being confronted by a serene, connected performance which responds to the soundscape of the particular place and time.

Glad I made the effort to get there and that my curiosity won out!

The little museum of Ludlow is on its last day, but I don’t think that’s the end. Today’s performance involves getting loaned items back to people.
