A few weeks ago our group of local photographers decided that it was time to emerge cautiously with our cameras, and that we would start with a project that was very close to home. Our harbour is the smallest of the 3 in the bay but it is a very busy one used mainly by … Continue reading Unseen bits of our harbour
It was promoted as a short film making workshop so I signed up because I do want to develop my film making and I wanted to start small. Three days' tuition should give me sufficient impetus to take some steps forward not because I want to upload to social media but because I want to … Continue reading Social media film making

You can never say that rocks are immovable - they have bent to the strains of their lives like the proverbial reed bends in the winds of change.

As time passed, I was asked 3 questions relating to the relationship I had with the tides to which I sent … Continue reading Time Water
This is the second week of my Argentinian 'ace project course. The idea is that artists in any of a myriad disciplines get together to collaborate on projects. There was no reference to this aspect of the project at our first of 4 meetings last week, I hope something will come of it today. We … Continue reading Thought Frontiers
In trying to develop my idea of plaiting or weaving different parts of my realities together, I have decided to use the warping tool in my photo processing software to give fluid form to my work. My friend Krystyna suggested that I weave my paintings together. In my previous blog, I wove together a radiotherapy … Continue reading Unique forms of fluidity
