Moon overboard.

The system of international maritime signal flags is based on the alphabet.
O or OSCAR is MAN OVERBOARD
Adieu! Adieu! yon silver lamp, the moon,
Which turns our midnight into perfect noon,
Doth surely light thy towers, guarding well,
Where Dante sleeps, where Byron loved to dwell.
The last 4 lines of Ravenna by Oscar Wilde
OWL MOON is a magical story written by Jane Yolen.

What once was complete has now been transcended.

The Screen in 2 halves.
Looking like a huge number eleven on the eleventh.
Side by side.
A pair.

How did it happen?
Nikola and I hid behind the screen to surprise?
After a couple of screams and a slight loss of balance we fell on the Screen.
The central spine of the screen unzipped as we stumbled upon it.
Ironically it was us who glued together the original join, almost a year ago.
And now I am evaluating a pair of screens.
The imapct you have on my art is unfathomable.
I won't dwell upon the demise of the Cardboard Zombie.
The screen belongs in the theatre.

Crow Nest Park: Dewsbury Museum: Spring Exhibition 2008.



68. Cardboard Landscape.
69. A logarithmic spiral.
70. Untitled Textiles.
I was asked to submit 4 pieces and 3 were selected for the exhibition. It runs for 2 months and the museum is popular. I am still thrilled about the spiral coming in at number 69.
The textiles were made in the 90's and I am enjoying the opportunity to showcase my skills in this area. I am currently working on new material for the SUMMER EXHIBITION later this year at the town hall. I must add that I am keen to try new media as I am inspired by the range and the technical ability of the artists within the group. (DEWSBURY ARTS GROUP.)

Annular and total roll on June.


JUNE 2007 ARCHIVE click

It's a leap year. That, though, is not what makes this month so special. It's more the fact that, this year, February also happens to bring a pair of eclipses*. Both will have their impact on our lives... and hearts. If there's something wrong in your love life, it will get set right soon. And if there's something you want to preserve and protect... well, if the reasons are right, that too may be attainable.
*Annular Solar Eclipse, February 6/7.Visible from a wide track, that traverses Antarctica and southern regions of the Pacific Ocean. A partial eclipse will be seen in the southeastern third of Australia, all of New Zealand and most of Antarctica.
*Total Lunar Eclipse, February 20/21.Visible throughout South America and most of North America, western Europe and northwest Africa. None of this eclipse is visible from eastern Asia or Australia.

What was elusive is now obvious.

Upturned vessel containing everything spilled

dry river running noiselessly

blank canvas drawing all into the white

gifted hands making shadows flapping wings
