Hectic few weeks again. The Holmfirth project – Walking Holme, now done, dusted, and (almost) put to bed. We need to think about how we give it a life beyond the initial festival showing. The growing stacks of artwork in my office is also making me think that a studio / workspace is becoming somewhat more imminent.

I feel as though I’ve now got a bit of a start on ‘Mythologies’ (my preferred title to the original). The photo comes from me shadowing Lee Baxter’s shoot last Saturday. I’m happy with the result, and feel as though we are getting somewhere. Yesterday met with Pam, one of the models (although I don’t really like the use of the word in the context of this project). Great discussion, and it made me realise what a responsibility I have as the artist portraying people in what will be a very public way. I also need to find some way of ‘recording’ the conversations with people, as if the rest are anything like yesterday, there is a sense of personal revelation which goes alongside the creation of the portrait. Interesting stuff.

This week also met with Joe from UHC to discuss the progress of the ‘Polari’ project, which needs (for reasons explainable later) to remain under wraps for the time being…..

Interesting times indeed…..
