robin flew into our sitting room today, through the open cottage door, and perched on my abstract landscape…

work in progress
more regular postings of current projects, often described and photographed during the making process…
dreaming in mist…
Inspired by the poetry of a moorland mist, when the constantly shifting landscape blurs then vanishes away, alone and dreaming…
see her marks, hear them beating…
and if rain and wind and mist persist, work on the film of the pamphlet…
what to do in the wind and rain – make a short film and call it, forgotten place…
Acadiane Journeys
We have made several films in this series, which feature original music, poetry and special journeys in a Citroen van, some in France and some in the UK. Having let go one Acadiane van in France, when we returned to live in the UK, we have now acquired another one, from the same region of France as the first. So, our back projection screen fits our latest little Citroen van (roll on the exhibitions and festivals) and we have started with two new short films, to add to the others, here’s the series so far, with our most recent film first:

Hannafore Triptych
Work on paper, based on sketches from last year and a recent visit to Hannafore by Looe (Acadiane Journeys Bodmin Moor to Looe)
I prepared this Somerset paper for an edition of cyanotypes. Unfortunately, it became prematurely exposed to light and could not be used in the edition. However, I did not throw the thirty sheets of paper away and, after several experiments, decided to make some new work, based on sketches I have made. Here is Willow, my first experiment with the prepared paper and medium:
Acadiane Journeys
Made on our first outing in the newly arrived Citroen Acadiane, a short journey from the moor to the coast of Cornwall, with a traditional Celtic tune weaved through the film…
