the birds, the river, a few planes, with the here and now, the birds, the river, a few planes
the sounds of the past and present collide and coincide, both are amplified
Sometime, at New Briton
Nine months living in New Briton, inbetween homes, but with a studio, and space outside for this work,
allowed time, with the place and sensing the light, across days, and months, unfolding into Spring.
The tidal river and its pause
Nearby coastal walks
Finding old quarry tiles in the earth whilst gardening
A beautiful sense of holding still, but also a fragile, and at times nervous one
In between places, and a home, I also felt displaced and in limbo
caught somewhere between the stillness and flow of natural time, and the demands of the world outside
having moved from my own home in Pembrokeshire to London to West Yorkshire, to here. With the
desperate need to find work, and the feeling I should be in a city to be a part of the ‘art world’, but torn
by my deepest need to be in Nature
walking, gathering, being, became a part of my time here, and collecting small pieces of stone felt important,
ways of talking of place, and of being displaced, in a space apart from where I should be, but where I felt right
