Had a really nice surprise at the Leeds International Book Fair last weekend. I participated as part of MA Fine Art Sheffield Hallam Uni with my book ‘To and From Grain Warehouse Sheffield’, my Word Worlds and a couple more books I’ve made recently.
There, I met Susan Kruse, an artist based in Birmingham, who commented on my blog. I couldn’t believe this wonderful coincidence!
Today it was snowing again with temperature -2. I was ok though and didn’t feel too cold, surprisingly. My assisstangs Sally and Madeleine coped well too; I hope they weren’t just polite. I carved 15 grains. Fran came in the morning to document again. The light was lovely today when through the snowy background streamed the sun into the space. Fran commented that’s the first time she’s seen the sun coming into the space.
There was a group of six people visiting but they were more interested in the space, made some postive sounds regarding my work though.
I’m hoping some of the MA Crit group are coming down tomorrow to give me some feedback. Will see.
