Reykjavík

We’ve recently returned from a holiday in Reykjavík. It was fantastic; a wonderful city. We went on tours around the Golden Circle and to the Blue Lagoon, and made the most of the local geothermal baths as well - there is something absolutely wonderful, and unreal, about sitting in an outdoor pool of water that has been heated by the earth to a cosy 40 degrees Centigrade whilst the air temperature is around 2 degrees. Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife also lived up to it’s reputation!
Here are some photos.

My work for Collectible

The first work to come out of my studio space - my book for Collectible.

New Work Continues

The book for Collectible gets closer to completion. Here’s a few examples of the pages.

I’ve made another 74 today.

Next I have to choose 100 out of the 118 that I’ve made and bind them into a book.

BTW the yellow/orange one is going to be the cover.

Making New Work

I started work today on a new piece of work for the show ‘Collectible’. I’m gradually getting used to the idea of having a space to work in, so today I got stuck in making a mess.

I’m making a hand-bound book version of the Resonant Forms pieces. Today I made 44 pages. Not bad for a days work.

Unlucky Parachute Man

I was given this image by Carol of The Friends of Dartmouth Park during my research for West Bromwich Connections. I asked if anything funny ever happened at the park and she told me the story of the poor man pictured. During an event in the 80s he had the whole park to land in, but managed to land on the war memorial. Fortunately the fire brigade were already on hand to help him down.
