CLUMBER STREET SHRINE
centre panel: work in progress

I'm finding that regarding what I'm doing as placing objects in boxes, rather than laying them on a page, to be incredibly creatively liberating. The image posted here doesn't specifically imply the interior of a box, it's just a state of mind. This might echo back to the twenty-odd years that I spent working as a Theatrical Designer, making 1:25 scale set models.
Two days ago, I began working on a new piece, but, as often happens, something caught my eye and set me off on a completely different trail. The image above is work in progress and will be the central panel of a triptych developed from two photographs purchased twenty five years ago in Nottingham. The postcard is from my last French Trip stash and was purchased in a village flea market.

Gorgeous up close! Wonderful layering effect- it's like looking through a silk curtain. I look forward to the finished triptych- I really love the way you are letting this unfold in time!
something... often catches my eye and sets me off in a new direction, so glad I am not alone in that new direction chasing thingy that I do!
love the mysteriousness and the scissors create so many stories in my head!
I'm really entranced by this image, and frankly I've been in such a funk lately I am very grateful to you for a little bright jolt!
I was walking down Clumber Street in Nottingham last Saturday. It always smells of the Lush shop these days!
Very mysterious piece...can't wait to see more.
