recent stone finds, destined for new work(s) or the continuation of a current project(?) together with snips of galvanised wire, coated in pvc – not a favourite material – I picked these up from the ground and could not seem to throw them away…
in my search for a section of chain link fencing for a project, I came across this wire mesh and stone which resonated for me – the idea of containing and protecting seems to be a feature of my current work…
The studio roof is now fixed and the culprits, 40 rusty screws, is a current work in progress (apparently 95% of the leaks in metal roofs are due to poorly fitted screws, which rust and let water through)

having temporarily decanted from a leaking studio, the opportunity arose to photograph the fifteen sculptures in the killick project, so here they are in the dry…
so, I wrote to the Cornwall Astronomy Society
and someone kindly replied: “My guess would be an internal reflection of the sun back onto your lens from the sensor…”
They also cleverly removed the blue dot and yet I have grown to like it…
while waiting for the leak to the studio roof to get repaired, I took a trip to the coast near Looe in Cornwall and photographed this seascape. I cannot account for the pale blue dot; the photo has not been edited in any way…
