Ravenglass

I had not expected to visit the sea or that the different places would be so contrasting. I only knew  Ravenglass  for the miniature railway I remember being taken to long ago. A wide variety of seascape in quite a small area, offering surprising beachcombing potential.

Carousel Books

Another device I use for generating images  are making carousel books.  

   

I often start with an A3 photocopy and fold it up and then unfold it and work on it as one piece.

                                         

I call them carousel books because any of the pages can become the cover and this can be changed as the piece develops

                                               

When it is refolded into a carousel book, accidental compositions / conversations arrive; they are added to future work at a range of scales                 

                                       

Occasionally  I don't feel the the refolded carousel book works; then it is cut up and re-assembled into a different arrangement
