A Thousand Sheep

I am coming back to work at the shed on Monday 1st August from 9 onwards. I will be there this week on Monday 1st, Tuesday 2nd, for sure and maybe more; if you can help on other days, I can be flexible. I have just had a week in France and the sun and the sea has brought me back to life. The project, in the past 3 months has had ups and downs. The ups are definitly the moments spent at the sheep shed and in the field, working with people, experimenting on colours and welcoming the public to view the progress. The downs are more computer times searching for futher funding to carry on with the project. I know too well that this is part of the job and one does not happen without the other. I already feel extremely lucky to have received the Arts Council grant in this time of recession. Thanks to it, I feel that I have the responsability to carry out the task I set to do; not only make the work but engage a great deal of people with it. The making is a very slow process; I still am unsure

Great day at the farm today! A team of volunteers is starting to build up and the project is moving forward. After a long day of work in the field, I just wanted to add a few dates to the calendar; Tuesday 6th, I am sorry, I will not be at the shed as I am moving out of my studio.
