Roskilde Cathedral

At the International Council of Museums – Conservation Committee (ICOM-CC) Triennial conference in Copenhagen (4th – 8th September 2017) I visited the Roskilde Cathedral. It was an unexpected wonderful experience. Having endeavored on my career path over 20 years ago, I not only left my home, family, community and country-but also neglected various practices and relationships while learning new…

‘Biedermann und die Brandstifter’ – The Firebugs

‘Biedermann und die Brandstifter’ – The Firebugs

  Reading this play at 14 as part of my school curriculum, I remember being outraged by the main character, constantly thinking ‘surely nobody could be this blind to the obvious!’ I never thought then that I would live to witness this play unfold… This dark comedy by Max Frisch in 1953, is set in a town that is regularly attacked by arsonists. Disguised as door-to-door salesmen (hawkers), they…

Tiree

2016 has been … I haven’t yet found the word to sum it up- lets call it ‘eventful’ for the time being. Apart from the global political and economic events which appear to increase proportionately with the fragmentation and dissipation of ‘the World as we used to know it’- this year was very much a journey on a personal level, which saw me travelling every single month, very much exhausting my…

Stille Nacht

…silent night’ the opening words of the hymn that will be sung at the climax of the Christmas mass. At the end of a year which appears to have been one acceleration of violence, wars, conflicts, polarisation, death, abuse, aggressive rethoric, bullying, scare mongering, terrorism; Christmas seems somewhat confusing this year. The consequences of the hostile and negative conditions and…

Question 3: What is your experience of the journey?

Question 3: What is your experience of the journey?

Attached to the inside of the windscreen of my car, I positioned it so to capture the changing landscape, not so much the street (I also wanted to avoid filming cars number plates) but the changing ‘architecture’ (urban and rural) and the sky. I am a fan of the sky…

Thoughts prompted by the Environmental Art Festival Scotland (Mark)

Some thoughts prompted by EAFS, I am sure that pages have and will be been written about EAFS, about the numerous and wonderful projects and the atmosphere that made it an extraordinary weekend. I gladly add my voice to that but would rather take up this space exploring an idea that has been bothering me since. It is a bit complicated and I am not sure I understand it myself. But first, deep and…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oas5nAlfrwg During friday to saturday night, not quite sure what time it was maybe between 1 or 2 in the morning, I woke up in my tent to someone singing this song. A beautiful moment of randomness, for the last thing I expected camping near a 14th Century Castle in Dumfries, Scotland was the rendition…
