I'm just about to enter into an intense time of work involving a residency during Dorset Art Weeks (the link details information about my involvement) which will include meeting with the general public as well as intentional Dorset Art Week visitors and finding ways of responding to some of what the Country Park is offering over those two weeks. I'm going to be spending time with specialists, enthusiasts, holiday makers, artists and walkers and this is going to open up new ways of seeing.
As a way 'in' to the experience of joining this community I intend to accompany the rangers on their daily 'walk'. They take turns to write 'The Daily Diary' as they make observations at the beginning of each day and it is printed and posted up for the general public to see as well as posted on the website and Facebook. My intention is to paint/ draw/ write in response to whatever crops up each day. I feel it is important to engage with the experience as it unfolds rather than try to do what might naturally be wanting to do in a site such as that...
But before all this kicks off I felt I wanted to make shape of some of the last year before I open up my practice to new influences. The link below to an e book I've just put together is an attempt to do just that. Do let me know what you think. I have never made an e book before alongside a printed version but it does look well on my iPad. It is possible to preview the whole book on the Blurb website.
