There are so many things to do! Stopped fretting about not making stuff and just done what I could which has been a series of Plantagrams, posted on Instagram, where a photo a day observes the patch of land near the River Soar in Leicestershire. The plan is to post all the plants that are there. These have been increasing now that the huge nettle, dock and thistle plantation has been reduced this allowing some light and other species to flourish.

The exhibition, See Hear, is up and running. The artist talk is tomorrow and still needs writing and although I am not going to read it, I need to have some pointers in my head. There is a two day workshop next week where I am doing an experimental sound day followed by Ashley Morris’ film day. I have been trying to fit in exhibition visits and other informative events such as three great days at In the Field conference with Crisap and have follow-ups to do. Also Sonic Sculptures at Near Now, Broadway, Nottingham where sound artists were able to present their work for critique. This was the last in a series of events run by nojobsinthearts in conjunction with Near Now. So, lots of new knowledge and new friends who I am enjoying following their navigations through the complex artist channels. In Osnabrück, I was delighted to work with Margit Rusert (https://margit-rusert.de and https://skulptur-galerie.de/artistaustausch/) and hope we will have a future fruitful artist collaboration.
