selling installation

One thing I wanted to add......................

I wont break up this installation, that was never my intention. It remains as a whole.

However, I would be happy to see it permanently installed in a reflective space, where one might quietly sit, think and be still for a while.
This could be a church, chapel, hospice.................who knows?

Should this be of interest, then contact me and we can discuss this or a possible site specific installation.

That's probably all the images I'll post for Sea Silks, the installation is there at Taigh Chearsabhagh, do go if you have a chance to see it. I hope it might tour.

It was a moving experience for me, both creating and installing. I've learned a great deal, some of it surprising. We don't always recognise who we are, do we?
I am indebted to all who had a hand in the making, thanks!
Also to Taigh Chearsabhagh in Lochmaddy for showing the work in such a wonderful venue. I'm pleased!

I'm now working on the research project with my colleague Dr Cathy Treadaway, from University of Wales, Cardiff. It's exciting. We find that our shared experience and memory impacts positively on our work, making the journey so enjoyable. Often words aren't needed.

Thank you for reading this blog of Sea Silks, it's been cathartic developing it.
Time to move on.

installation

Looking at the images I took just before I left, I'm not a very good photographer, at least not for this. I should go back up again with a better camera, or a video might be better. They don't come close to capturing the experience of standing in the work, looking up at the gently rotating forms. That's why some are out of focus: they move! They're meant to move in the air currents. This lady seems to like it though?
