Wow, what an autumn that turned out to be! I barely stopped, from September to Christmas 2022, and I feel bad not to have updated this site with news at the time. Our rock|salt exhibition took place over 4 weekends, from end Oct to mid-Nov, and it was a resounding success. Elspeth Knight and I would like to thank everyone who came along, or who visited the online exhibition and supported us on social media! Our website that accompanies the exhibition is still live at the moment, in case you’d like a glimpse of the virtual galleries – http://rocksaltproject.com
Working with Elly on these poems and companion artworks was an extraordinary experience – inspiring, exhausting, motivating – I found myself entirely absorbed into the voices and stories we were telling. I admit, I’ve had to take time out since the exhibition completed – my poetic voice dried up, and it’s only in the last week or so (January 2023) that I’ve found words starting to flow again. I’ve no ‘big’ projects planned for this year; rather, I am writing and researching and learning for myself for a while. May I take this chance to wish all my followers the very best for 2023 – and please don’t worry if I’m a little quiet on socials, I am here, just mulling over things in the background for a while.
