Taking Stock with Lock
Christine (Lock) suggested with her gossamer-touch, that we take stock of the print making todate.
So, six months of work, tution, guidance, suggestion, critique, encouragement, praise, mutual respect; a new and joyous relationship.
So, the output?
Terrific; 12 cities captured (28 x 46 cm) in colour, vibration and warmth. Each different, each attached to a single thread: enthusiasm.
Additionally 6 more pieces are soon to be given the finishing touch through the Press and six more days of press time booked to complete the representation of 26 places, journeys and priviledged encounters of which 18 journeys will be chosen.
In my line of business (trainer - the day job) I am accorded with some status. In January, in India, I was accorded with the title 'Guru'. I am nothing, compared with Christine Lock; tutor, teacher, cajole-er, friend, equal and master. I am totally sure of one thing: I still have much to learn.

Clinging to Tracy
Ooops pushed send too early a couple of nights ago. I was going to say that I have renewed Tracy Emin: The Works 2006 - 2009 for the final time as the library service are soon to present me the Most Renewed Book award . Well it is big book and weighs in at 7 pounds - more importantly it full of wonderful work.
Delicate drawings, bold needlecraft, top shelf excitement and more pathos than a boat of Greeks plus sub text to make your hair curl! Go Girl! Her work inspires for its sheer volume and honesty.

The language of flight – Tara talk?
The US war planes seem to carry the most. Some of the exhortations are quite cryptic:
Well Tim I’m seeing ‘Danger’ on the side of the plane but we just ain’t
seeing it in your photo – you gotta find the 'Danger' somewhere girl. . .
and ‘Remove before Flight’ is that some running way thing or what?

Dubai Do buy
Marvellous: Dubai International is one big shopping mall, dwarfing my favourite emporium, Westfields and at 0500 it was heaving with punters.
Everybody keeps asking me about the World Cup, as if I know whats going on. "You like Becks?" "No but I'm loving Posh's new range of skin care, expecially the two for one on day cream"

Music of the Week: La Roux
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
And what are feelings without emotions?
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
(x2)
I hang my hopes out on the line
Will they be ready for you in time
If you leave them out too long
They'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Can this bridge cross the ocean?
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
(x2)
Let's go to war
To make peace
Let's be cold
To create heat
I hope in darkness
We can see
And you're not blinded by the light from me
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
