Spent most of my weekend going through more boxes, files and note books. Re-arranging my studio again and finally started drawing and painting onto a couple of found canvases...liking the idea of using found surfaces to keep linking into 'What's left behind?', almost whats behind the layers.

Did the site seeing trip with Susi & Marcus this weekend and saw the plinth at Trafalgur Sq. fantastic to see women taking their place in the square after so many male memorials have been there...odd though as the lady in the pink dress was not really connecting, quite liked the idea of the poem on the cards but something about it did not work...
And the next day I was back in time for another lady...not sure what she was up to though?

I have been playing around with shredding again today as way of relaxing so I have found out. Its been a funny old day what with the odd energy out there with the tube strike, over crowded buses and my ongoing struggle with settling into my job, flat and London....and it's not passed me by that whilst watching 'Pineapple Express' I am stuffing re-sealable plastic bags!

Finally getting around to updating the blog so I can follow the Artist Log Book format provided. Anything like Captain's log book? Well it is a journey already
Today been working on concepts for the P1 show at Payne Road as part of Bow Arts Trust Open Studios 19th - 21st June 2009. Cycled to source plain plastic bags but with no joy, but bumped into Corinne and she has a source! http://corinne.manifesto-art.co.uk/
Going to walk around the neighbourhood and along the way record the wildlife I encounter. Finally now I am not within a much more natural place my thirst for nature has become a driving force...as per usual weird old mind of mine, miss a thing once its gone! Whilst in Enford I was often over-awed by nature now I am in London at the heart of various estates I am just pleased/relieved when I spot any rose or tree!
Today is the latest opening at The Nunnery 'Olympic Visions' http://www.bowarts.org/thenunnery/index.php?code=42

Corinne Felgate's opening night @ The Heritage Flat, 123 Balfron Tower
Going down in Carradale's lift
Looking up
Ah, the view, such a view!
Started on my postcard response as part of a collaborative postal arts project with artist (& friend) James Aldridge www.jamesaldridge-artist.co.uk/
Working around ideas of nature in the city and finding time to be with nature in a meaningful way, instead of just travelling through 'it' in response to James' piece around the bird and mapping travel. And as life would have it some of the high rise tower blocks in East London have become nesting stops for buzzards and falcons
