A New Leaf

A lot less politics now! The election is on, the world is humming with heat and a lot less light so time to shift down a gear and think about things that last longer than a soundbite.

Photography is beginning to interest me more - it has started as a necessary evil for portraiture and now is becoming a pleasure in itself. I am slowly building a 'texture library' interesting barks, mosses, stones etc. Not easy to see how I might apply that to my sculpture but it is worth a thought.

Medievalism is also stalking my thoughts - a visit to Tintern Abbey in Monmouthshire has been quite inspirational. Wonderful place. Peaceful despite the busy road and deep in the Wye Valley which is sublime - Wordsworth clearly though so...
