Great. I have just edited my film in FACT using their state-of-the-art film tech. It took me all of my alotted time to edit my 2 gig odd short video which I will be screening on Friday. It is fairly simple, but I want to bring out the rawness of the beautiful footage shot by a local film maker called Johan who volunteers for the park. In the film itself, just for a-n bloggers (sssh!), I have arranged the poetry created in my Haiku workshop contiguous to the footage so that it appears, then vanishes. Most of the poems when read confidently last for about 5 seconds: an ephemeral act.
And now I am in Leaf, drinking away my nervousness of editing the film within the alotted time (I have only the funds for one session) and blogging. I spent quite a while yesterday in FACT cafe writing but it was all for nought as my wifi cut out. But it is over and now I just have to sort out the display for Friday (on top of a workshop thursday eve).
On that subject, we have a group of 30 Brownies turning up for that workshop on Thurs – we have a group using Comma space! And they will be helping me with my clay sculpture. It will not be made during the time that I am here but I am going to make instructions for completion and installation. It is at this point in my practice when I am leaving works for other people to complete in my absence. Hatch[ED] is happening in Hatch Space on Friday:

and I have a piece in the show which is a collaboration piece with artist and friend Jack Brown. It is called Olivia and uses systems to organise a series of 100 coloured cards. Instructions stemmed from my performance work. However, as I have branched out into bigger more material pieces I have needed to use them for other people to complete in a similar way to my performances. Go see Hatch[ED].
Well, I think that’s everything for now. If you are in Liverpool or Wirral come down to New Ferry and be part of a project with real community importance on Friday, I will welcome you. I will screen my homage to the Butterfly Park and perform, also see the many clay tiles! I have put a lot of effort in, all I ask is for your attendance.
