Translink have picked their days to go on strike! I already missed 2 music events in December and now I’ll miss the launch of PRIME because I can’t get to Belfast by train. My car is too unreliable. I was to meet my cousin and her friend, Frank, as well as Kate. Susan was going… Continue reading PRIME, Disappointment

Magic Thursday
I do like a Thursday. That’s my fun day. I’ve been doing train journeys to Belfast on Thursdays for about 10 years. Mainly to photography clubs or sometimes to art events. This week I decided to make the journey for 2 reasons; 1) Chantal is going to France for a fortnight, so I’ll be dog… Continue reading Magic Thursday
PRIME, accepted
I just found out that all three submissions have been accepted for the exhibition! Opening night is on 1st February. Chantal is going to France to see her mother, but Susan has volunteered to look after the dogs that evening so I can go.

Preparing for the Riverside Theatre exhibition
The exhibition doesn’t take place until the beginning of March, and Module 3 of the MA starts towards the middle of February, so I have been using December to check out frames (still doing that, although I have around 30 from my last exhibition), collect paper and ink, and tidy up my working area. My… Continue reading Preparing for the Riverside Theatre exhibition
Bookends
‘Lessons’ and ‘The Sense of an Ending’ are the two books that bookended the second module, MA1.2, of the MA for me. Both gave insights on the fragility of memory and expressed it in different ways. The quote I first picked from ‘Lessons’, reading it on the train on the journey home from Berlin in… Continue reading Bookends
