some
images from the shop at Japan House - it's so full of ideas. Meanwhile I have a piece of
work in The PAGES exhibition - it has
started its short tour of three Yorkshire venues - ROAR http://rotherhamroar.com
The Cooper Gallery, Barnsley www.cooper-gallery.com

Interchange at NUA was a creative space without answers or direction - this was
a challenge for some individuals but there was some interesting learning. MA Book Art students
have been displaying their altered books in a small exhibition in the library
at Camberwell. I'm looking forward to a bonding session (in the technical not psychological
sense) with year 1 at NUA - I have been working on the planning for this for a
while and hope to demonstrate some of the technical lessons learnt whilst
working at the Maxwell Centre Nanotech in Cambridge, the wonders of the heat
press. Friday sees me in Leeds at The Tetley as a kind of book consultant
attempting to support people exploring the book https://www.thetetley.org/whats-on/artists-book-advice-surgeries-at-the-tetley
In terms of screens Stan & Ollie
was a sweet and tender experience, Mary
Poppins returns reminded me why I didn't enjoy the first one, all those jolly working people getting by and slightly too knowing children all within an Edwardian
tweeness. After Life the latest Ricky
Gervais work is worth watching if only for the wonderfully true to life use of
swearing, but it also has something to say about grief.
