on working to a deadline...

The wonderful thing about a deadline, is, that until the actual due date, you can keep saying there is still time....
so here I am procrastinating again.
.... but the deadline is 3 days away.
The piece is for the Blake Prize exhibition. (They've rejected my last 2 entries)


This is what the new piece (still untitled) looked like 2 weeks ago....

and a week ago... (I think its called "the delusions of understanding..")



..and this is where its at now.
I think its now called "entangled in the delusions of understanding"

3 days to go and its probably halfway there.
I love deadlines.

.... on how to begin

Hmm, to start. I always said I would never be glued to a piece of technology.
Me, who wanted to create my environment from scratch.
I did try the permaculture garden bit.
The communal house bit.
The wander around the world bit.
The make my own bread and yogurt and clothes bit.
The breed a bunch of kids bit.

But here I am. A mac on my lap.

What has stuck, it seems is the need to live in a little haven of my own with the power to isolate myself at will.........
but also, the need to fill my life with wonderful people.

But to do it all just when I please.

The need, that is. The reality is always a little different.

So, I'll introduce myself with a bit of anonymity to start with.
And then, some of the wealth of other wonderful artists around this area and beyond.

Here I am.

and here is where I live.


and here is my cat. Feebie.
