I installed my work in the sculpture garden on Friday. I'm very pleased with how it has all come together. Affixing the knitting to the tyres was more fiddly than I imagined. For a while it seemed that I was creating knotted sculpture with fishing line that I had got into a terrible tangle. But with the help of an extra pair of hands from my other half, we were able to get the technique down to a fine art and got the lashing finished.
I love the contrast of indoor and outdoor, hard and soft materials. It also looks like giant liquorice allsorts from a distance... Come and visit ... Fernbank, Court Lane, Burnham, SL1 8DN Thursday/Friday: 12noon to 4pm Saturday/Sunday: 11am to 6pm Until 23rd June

'Where do I stand?' - photographed in the church yard. See it for yourself from next weekend - Burnham
All are warmly welcomed to the garden art trail in Burnham next month - where I will be exhibiting 2 new pieces of sculpture. My first adventures in outdoor work - and I'm very excited about seeing my work in a new environment.
Thank you to everyone that visited me over the Bank Holiday at Henley Arts Trail. It was great to talk to so many people. This new piece reminded one visitor of a microscopic water organism called a rotifer - I'm going to be googling that for inspiration for future work. And I intrigued many people with my spun (actually technically its plyed) video tape. This was work in progress for my next event at Buckinghamshire Open Studios in Burnham. Its going to be part of a 2.5m high sculptural piece of French knitting.
Just 2 weeks to go until Henley Arts Trail: 4-6 May (Bank Holiday weekend). I will be with 5 or 6 other artists at venue 17 in Shiplake - Shiplake Church Room, Reading Road, Shiplake Cross, RG9 4BW. Its over the first May Bank Holiday weekend, and there is loads to see throughout the area across 25 venues. Do come along if you're around that weekend. www.henleyartstrail.com
