Viewing single post of blog Ness of Brodgar Artist’s Residency 2023

There are two sides to my work, practice and reflection. Here at the Ness of Brodgar there is much to draw, paint, and many sounds to record. But I also feel a need to keep a handle on the thinking that underpins the practical stuff. So because my time here is limited there is something of a conflict between getting as much material as possible to take away and knowing what to concentrate on. Perhaps the best strategy while I am on site is to metaphorically put one foot in front of the other – i.e. make the work and see where it leads. Let reflection happen as and when it will.

So today, while recording the call of the resident Oyster Catcher, I drew the new extension being created in Trench J

I was also witness to the discovery of a small axe and the lifting of a very large quernstone.
