I have just had the Tudor Roof Tiles series accepted into the Ludlow Summer Exhibition!  The show is on for the month of August.

RBS talk

A quick thank you to all who attended my talk at the RBS on Wednesday evening.  The talk was part of the 18@108 - Stone exhibition.

Arts Council Wales Grant

I am delighted to announce that I have been awarded a research and development grant by Arts Council Wales.  The project will start on May 1st and will be recorded in my blog "View from a Welsh Hill'.  

Clitheroe Well Commission

'Dark I am...' is a riddle created by David Lewis that spirals around to mark where the original well stood in Clitheroe Castle.  The well head has been made using Marmoleum and can be found in the museums cafe when the Castle and Museum reopen in May.

Sheep Line Grasmere

The Wordsworth Trust kindly asked me to install a 'sheep line' after seeing my installation at Kendal last year.  As part of the 'Home within a Home' exhibition (on until 14th June 2009) a dry stone wall has been created by Alistair Irving.  The wall is a response to Wordworth's poem 'Michael' which addresses youth, age and change.  The Trust asked me to create a'sheep line' in the wall.  I used two Herdwick fleeces, one a lambs fleece, the other an older sheep fleece.  The line starts with the dark red tones of the lamb and traces through the wall maturing into the softer grey of the adult fleece.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
