Finally a hope and intention that I will find time this summer to realise some of the sculptures that I have in my head and in buckets in my garage. Old spoons, paint brushes, rusty metal and glass marbles. The work that I did on assignment 3 pointed me back towards my own work, and partly to that end I spent a lot of time at Easter clearing cleaning and organising my work space in preparation.

Another motivation is the new build at Sidcot, with it's phenomenal potential as an exhibition space. I plan to stage a large exhibition for the opening of the building in November. I suspect that the organisation of this exhibition will become the main focus of my attention over the coming months. The school celebrates 200 years with the opening of a major new facility. we have photos of an exhibition of 1908. I have approached artists who have had past connection with the school, the sculptor Nicholas Dimbleby, the film makers Nick Broomfield and perhaps Tim Bevan. There was even talk at some point of getting Judi Dench to officiate. I have approached many other artists with school connections, but also plan that the current art teachers work should be on display, an added incentive to get some done over the summer. I am quite keen to get back into creating, finding the creative energy that I know I have in abundance if I allow it time.
