on thursday it's my last day in London for this year with the opening of the penultimate MA Book Art exhibition at Camberwell on Thursday. OCA is on a break till September and I have 2 days to go at nua - I'm looking forward to a break and to work in the studio - started today by working on Transference for @halesworthgall - the small project has turned into a number of strands all connected with unknowing, the breaking down of text so that it loses its specific meaning but still talks of text, typography, words and the potential for communication.

working on the latest gloriously mad Paul Cope art combined group thing  - after chair, drain, and shop box we have 100 sq feet - I've been given a 12cm spare panel of wood to work with for an exhibition in Halesworth Gallery - after much thought I chopped it up and played tangram https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangram after a few hours I got to knife.... then....using that as a mask to make 101 individual prints.....to be swapped with 100 other artists and one to auction off. http://www.paulcope.com/100_Sq_Ft/index.html

first outing to this years festival at Aldeburgh was Birmingham contemporary music group playing Julian Anderson’s The Comedy of Change and Benedict Mason’s Nodding Trilliums and Curve-Lined Angles - WOW - controlled disorder ordered and a dose of big fun as they played prepared pianos, rubber balls brushes and at one point the building.
