5th Nov. Out with the old, ready for the new…

Bonfire at Hewood

So, both shows, at Walford Mill and Barrington Court, are over, and all the work back here. Time to review things, and start into new work and new projects. My main tapestry for ‘Nature of Mending’, ‘Folded Loss’ (can be seen in the ‘Tapestries’ section) is currently hanging up in my studio as I contemplate re-making it….Many things I like about it, but I think perhaps I got proportions wrong somewhere. Might mean scissors, might mean more folding. I love having given myself permission to treat a tapestry rather like a painting, and change it radically. As for projects, am working with painter Jenny Graham, sculptor Chris Dunseath, photographer Richard Tomlinson and poet Ralph Hoyt on developing a project with Somerset Heritage Centre. Promises to be long term and really exciting, but we are taking our time. Updates will follow in due course on chopping up the existing, and bringing to life something new.
