I went to London this morning to meet Kevin Graal who I am hoping to involve in the project. Kevin is a storyteller. One of my starting points for Papertrails was not just the quotidian reality of the actual landscape […]

and when it comes to it…maybe this is actually what I meant? maybe I had written my response…and maybe it was for him… replacing the "we"’s for "I"’s and the "us"’s for "me"’s.. I take on a role. Each day […]
KAREN: SADDLES AND PARIS I finally saw the Karen Kilimnik exhibition last week at the Serpentine Gallery. It was the first time I’d seen her work in real life, and I was suitably impressed and intrigued by it. At first […]

Art Week at Hurst Park Primary went very well and was an encouraging start to the month. It was lovely to see the children responding to the project and enjoying themselves as well. I have had some really interesting comments […]
I am not ready to go. I said this to a friend today, when she asked me about my impending trip on Thursday morning. I realised that ever since I came to the UK (in 1992) that this has been […]
