a quick break - 4 days in France - South of Marseilles - idyllic - amongst the books I read I have to recommend Watermark by Joseph Brodsky - a beautifully crafted book, exquisite use of language, a meditation on light and life - centred on Venice - which I'm looking forward to visiting in a months time for the Biennial. As ever the holiday snaps represent current interests as well as long standing ones - death, fabric in/on sculpture, quirks in structural public amenity - a new one - I became obsessed with the idea of barrier and am now collecting.
I also managed to solve one or two issues around the unpicking and rebinding project which I have been working on this week. Having space to think was good.
