From a distance and down to earth

The opening photograph is a satellite image of my studio and surrounding countryside and the one below is of the same location down to earth.

Award winning novelist, Jean Rhys (1890-1979) was born and grew up in Dominica. The open scenes in her literary masterpiece Wild Sargasso, relate directly to the countryside that surrounds my studio. As she rightly remarks:

Too much blue, too much purple, too much green. The flowers too red, the mountains too high, the hills too near.

My week has likewise been spent reviewing work from a distance - that being forgotten videos taken thirty years ago of work in progress - and work accomplished in more recent times, as the subject for a video documentary on working from the live model.
