No one can say that if you are an artist you don't travel to new places and meet lots of different people. Today it was my first time to Goodwood Race Course to hand in a submission for the National Open to be held in Chichester.

The Twisted Thread

At long last the Knitting and Stitch Show has arrived which means I have bought my new high low table - hurrah! No more working on the floor and getting in all my family's way. As usual it was a great chance to buy some more lovely fabrics. There were, as always, some very interesting textiles in the textile exhibition by new graduates and established textile artists. My favorite was Elizabeth Tarr, she was showing her new body of work "Infanta series: run 1010" paper, fabric, indigo and stitch. Elizabeth explores the nature of memory, she aims to unite the darker tones of experience with a delight in the every-day.

Alright don't cry about it!

Spent the week doing the jobs that probably most artists put off, paperwork and proposals! Hard work, but good news! I have finished picture of Harry for the Ashridge Management College exhibition!!!
