.. and all those who wish to remain anonymous.

I had forgotten how exhilarating it is to just roam around and stumble across unexpected adventures.. Collecting and buying books, roll of fabric, frames, black dress with very long sleeves, white linen tablecloth for that special occasion..

Then Camden Arts Centre (Hanne Darboven and Raphael Hefti). Enjoyed the contents of Annette Messaget's book The Messengers more. Particular favourite, her work with paper accessories (1969-70) and the beautiful The Borders (1971-72). I saw this at Tate Modern a long time ago. Dead sparrows lying in rows in a glass cabinet, all wearing carefully knitted cardigans..

I wanted to go to the cafe but felt out of place. I was not in the mood to sit in a busy environment after my viewing and thinking whilst at the gallery... and that person who should inspire and excite me, seems not to exist.

Time to think, breathe, write..

Determined to allow time for thinking, reading, doing, making, trying, learning, practising, exploring, experimenting, experiencing, breathing, laughing, walking, feeling, running, standing, sitting, observing, dreaming, building, remembering, planning, saving, giving, receiving, listening, cleansing, deciding, learning, healing..

Tracking patterns

Speed and distance tracking - creating patterns

Morphing

Morphing into place. Morphing out of place..

Fresh air and open landscapes

Fresh air, open landscapes, blue winter sky and winding country lanes ahead - all waiting to be explored. My lungs filled with air and mind calmed by this mixture of lanes, footpaths, farms, animals, hay, horses trotting on the road... Sun shining. I think this detox is working. About time. Time to get rid if a few other layers too. Those that no longer fit in. Those that invite the opposite to my plan. Those that do not allow my mind and creative flow to continue. Time to get some work done.

Stop Look Listen

New Year, New Chapter

A new year and new beginnings. Testing remote access and uploads. Lots of new energy with the odd bug in between. Total detox, mind body and soul. Never felt better. Clear. Happy. Calm. Maybe that is also due to less plans being forced on me by others. I am starting to say No to everything that does not interest me, and Yes to everything else!
