During my stay in Bombay I had a skype conversation with Julienne Dolphin Wilding, an artist now based in Barcelona, and a human being of rare integrity and good sense. I was telling her about my plans for the Open […]
Abishek had given me a list of Bombay galleries to check out. Staff at the hotel seemed clueless as to their location, even when provided with their addresses. However, at the first one I managed to find, I fortunately met […]
It's strange to feel so scattered and disjointed…I'm wondering if it's at all possible or necessary to thread together the me that left a year ago with the me that is currently grasping at a present day normality. Not that […]
The "Children of Craig-y-nos" project started less than a year ago as a blog, an attempt to piece together 40 years of missing Welsh history. I am amazed at how it has all snowballed with the final focus being (a) […]
On our last preparation day 3 weeks ago, using canes lashed together with string, I tried to make a 3D drawing of the shelter we hope to build. The result was a wonky bamboo frame which wouldn’t stay upright long […]
Xi’an [the definition is ‘west’, ‘safe place’] and Xianyang [‘sunshine’] We arrived in Xi’an early, and Daoxuan picked us up and ferried us to Xianyang, about 20 minutes down the road by car. During our stay we met up with […]
Agricultural Festival One of our visits was to the Agricultural Festival, a harvest festival held at the mausoleum of one of the Emperors high in the hills north east of XIanyang [I fear I have forgotten which Emperor]. Amazingly enough, […]
Harvest time in rural China
The Terracotta Army at Li Shan We visited the Terracotta Army at Li Shan [Li Mountain]. The modelling of these soldiers is exquisite. It is quite astounding to see so many 2000 year old sculptures of such a high standard […]
Xi’an City Wall The city wall of Xi’an is fully restored and it is possible to cycle the 12km around the city on this wall, which we did on our last afternoon here. Found some crickets singing outside shops in […]
Mr Xia Tong Tomorrow Cam returns to Melbourne. Mr Shen will drive us all to the airport to say farewell. Cam has had a great experience in Tuanjiehu Park just as I have. He linked up with Mr. Xia Tong, […]

It’s my birthday today, but no let-up in the preparations for my Fringe Festival installation. I think we’ll treat ourselves to a meal at the local pub this evening, though! Quite a few of the items in the catalogue of […]

Its a few days since I last wrote an entry to this blog and I find myself preparing for the return visit to inishlacken. In between packing bags and making sure I have the right camera equipment with me, I […]
This is a postscript really. Just thought I would add an image of one of the drawings I am going to put in the show in Saffron Walden next week.
