Hi all
So glad to pop back to the Bl;og it feels like home. Had a good 121 with Franko last week, some hard tjings to think about - you always take me by suprise! Would be good to air things with you all soon. I'm a bit off the radar at the mo as work is insane - today been setting up Origin at Somerset House - 14hrs without stopping for one second, insane. So i have to excuse myself for a few days, but it wouild be lovely to see anyone down there, it looks like it should be a great show. Let me know if you are interested and I'll see if i can organise any comps.
Katherine, so so sorry to hear your news, I think due to not being able to access I somehow missed your post until after I replyed your text. i though about you a lot, especially as I am very close to my granny too, I don't see her much but call at least every few days. She is 96 and very frail and blind and I often think about how strange it will be when I can't call her anymore. I think it will take a long time to change that instinct, like when you still expect someone you have lost to walk in through the door.. Anyway much love to you.

Thank you madelaine...well thank you to everyone whose sent love. I really appreciate it. I am feeling a lot less flat this week, and although it kind of feels wrong to be back to normal and not giving it so much thought, the thoughts are still there, only I can smile now rather than cry!
I think maybe it's a bit of a selfish reaction on my part, feeling flat, but I know that is a stupid thing to say, because death does that......but I have been thinking a lot about the Bob Flannagan film we all watched at Wysing. I was so overwhelmed by that, and not sjust because he died.. he was expecting it, and even then he seemed pertrified and it still didn't make sense and he still hadn't come to terms with it as such.
But with Grandparents in particular I think the relationship is so different. Or at least it was for me....and I really don't think I can explain quite how or why, but it's not as close as the relationship I have with my family, but there felt like there was this other way of connecting....we write to each other a lot and that was so much a part of our relationship...mayeb an unspoken bond......
Anyway, i didn't want to meander into my own thoughts and go back there.
I have just started reading this incredibly beautiful book, and I wanted to tell you about it in case anyone has read it or is looking for a good book to read. It's "The unbearable lightness of being' by Milan Kundera.....I keep having to turn the corners of pages over so I can go back and read bits and write them down.
Right...what was I actually going to say...oh yes,,just that I really felt for you when you were talking about having time for everything and being so frustrated that when you ahd teh time thinsg wouldn't work. But there felt like there was littel I could do- but please do use me in any way that would/ could help. And that goes for anyone. rachel, you mentioned at Wysing, on the last night I think that maybe it would be helpful to us all if we write a bit about each other's work. I think it's a really good idea, not just because it would be good for teh person writing it, but so much was siad at Wysing that setteled in my head and made a lot of sense...about my practice and how I approach my work, and things in my work......and i hadn't seen these thinsg myself but an outside perspective can. is anyone interested? I know it's another thing to eat up a bit more time, but it coudl be an ongoing thing???
With love Katherine.
I think that is a great idea, writingh about each others work, it might open more things up. I think it probably took Wysing to get to the point where we might feel we can do that. I feel a lot of fondness and support for and from everyone so it seems more possible to speak more. How to begin....? Maybe we prepare something for next time we meet. Like, i don't know, a little piece of folded paper that we can exchange, read and discuss then or take away to read and discuss another time. Or maybe we write it here but i think i need a deadline! blah blah i'm so tired I can't focus my thoughts or type properly so I'll be quiet again now.x mad
