let me just empty my head & my Fridge.

After the excitment of Varnishing Day I got to spend a great week in Langourla, a little village in Brittany, France.

As well as a good holiday and fun time with the Powells it also gave Chantal and I to start to discuss our “Ebony Tower” project. We took some interesting photos near the stream at the bottom of the garden, experimenting with movement and over exposure. Im sure there will be some shots featured both here and on Chantal’s blog.

My head feels in a bit of a spin to be honest at the moment. I feel like I have four or even five things that I would like to work on. Ebony Tower project , gloss designs, some more experimental gloss work and an idea I have had for years about transcribing glossy fashion images into large paintings. (Its an itch i just have to scratch). The ideas are all connected and one leads on from another. I think that they are really all about the same things too. I also want to develop more prints!

I might have a touch of the post holiday blues too. It was so good to relax in that environment. When you strip away all of the clutter of a busy life I found I could revel in the details and subtleties of relationships and my own emotions.

now all I have to do is communicate that in my work!

oh and my fridge has broken. Rubbish.

a more focused post next time with some images!
