Currently feeling thrilled by Lynda Barry’s ‘Syllabus’ as a way back into thinking about ways of sharing from/extending my PhD thesis out into the world. There’s a lot to be said for succumbing to the urge to draw monkeys… #LyndaBarry #CreativeMethods #DrawingAsThinking #StickingAndMaking

Word of the day is ‘arsle’ (19th century): to have a distinct sense of going backwards.

Charcoal days. The snow round here is beginning to melt, leaving the fields outlined and the paths slippery. This wiped-clean landscape is inspiring much pondering about current positions and future plans.
A monochrome image featuring a dry stone wall in the immediate foreground, a bit of scrubby land, then a very calm reservoir, and, in the background, some moorland interspersed with trees by the far shoreline. There is a dusting of snow on the ground.

A wonderful board awayday today for Craven Arts (www.cravenarts.co.uk), hosted at the hidden gem that is Hellifield station. Great to be working alongside such a committed, inspiring, integrity-fuelled bunch.
Photograph of a very long Victorian railway station platform, with winter sun shining through clouds in the sky. There is snow on the ground between the train tracks. The platform is covered by glass panels overhead.

Thirty one short walks in December, stitched. Each square is 5cm.

Looking forward to a day of thinking differently about data at #glosdataday in lovely Cheltenham. Have already spotted the stitching data folk!

Wading into this place feeling buoyed up by an afternoon of conversations about intergenerational creativity, network-building, rural cultural policy, and possibility. Sometimes the good stuff is hiding in plain sight. #Grassroots #LocalArts #CharityTrustee
