Writings on landscape and memory. Tuesday, April 16, 2013. The Hill of the Winds. I have told no-one this before. We heard of one building with a sound roof and a wooden floor, left open as a bothy. It nested in ochre folds of land at the base of a towering, windswept hill, the dark shape like a presence of a benign spirit. Beyond, the knuckled ridges of paler hills stretched to the head of the Loch. We left the bothy later that day; the weather had turned and the last threads of snow had melted from the...

Stone Soup, Countering the Spectacle. An exploration of the role of the artist. Stone Soup, the story. The Shape of Four Pockets. 8220;Where are those stones? From Bonds to Connection, from Contract to Community. We are tied to each other, but beneath these bonds lies a deep connection that cannot be experienced without letting go of both the suspicion and the sense of duty we feel towards our bonds. Bonds are ties. Ties are compulsive. They are the fabric of domination. Life is seen as a negotiation.

She writes in part,. I’ve not followed the Runic Arts but I am struck by the direct simplicity of these marks that straddle pictograms and writing. They call to my Celt-Iberian roots. What a wonderful word. It speaks to limning, lining off, delineating, drawing. A gesture or a mark that begins here, and goes somewhere. Lately...

The Printed Land: A year of words, a cloud of electrons
http://printedland.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-year-of-words-cloud-of-electrons.html
Writings on landscape and memory. Sunday, January 12, 2014. A year of words, a cloud of electrons. It feels strange to be here, in the half-light of a northern winter, bent over the glow of the screen again. I draw words from the heavy soil, listen to the roar of the wind in the trees, stand on the step at the front of the house and watch the moon rise over the clouds which are tipped with white, like the edge of an Edwardian napkin.
