Exhibition at the Library?

It seems that it might be possible to mount an exhibition of artist's books at Bristol Central Library. It's very early days yet, and several projects mooted for this venue previously have sunk without trace. However, this time,, there seems to be a clearly defined space suggested. There seems to be a clearer sense of what may be offered. And, to be honest, I think I've developed a more flexible attitude to what it takes to show work.

However. We shall see. I hope it pans out. I work in the library and have fruitlessly attempted to produce this kind of fusion between my job and my work before. Fingers crossed.

Again, this is an image that forms part of a project I've been working on at St Mary Redcliffe here in Bristol. I've been putting together a set of ideas for it that draw on a variety of sources, including an interpretation of the biblical Creation. essentially, I've been trying to find ways to understand and dramatize the experience of the building. This particular image forms the basis for a book I produced earlier this year called "Firmament". I'm hoping I'll get the chance to do more soon.

Off I go

I think I've worked hard enough now. I've got a fair-to-middling idea of what I can and cannot do with this here thing now, so it remains really to stop for the evening and just get my head down for a bit. It's been good finding out how to tweak things a bit so as to make it a bit more peersonalised, and working with it has inspired me to get to work on my (hem hem) real website, which I've barely touched for years, having honest-togod been busy doing something else. But this has actually been fun in a way that printing lots of copies of my books hasn't been recently. I put it down largely to simply not having made much new work of late. This little effort has been a little bit of a creative outlet for me, and I'm starting to feel that I might be able to live up to my own intention of using it as an online sketchbook.

It's now about 3:40, if my clock's right. So I really HAVE to go to bed now, or I might start jabbering.

View image here are someboats we saw a while back during the festival. Still doing little technical explorations here, so forgive me shambling about.

Here's some glass. Yow. Wish the tools would come up for me in the posting window in IE5 for Mac. dang. Gues I'll have to write the tags...?

Here's a picture from a series I took some time ago at St Mary Redcliffe for an ongoing residency project I've been working on sporadically for some time.
