14th November (working with 8th & 13th)

I've moved into the next stage of the 'walk' painting(s) in relation to my  new phrase journal. I had two friends visit my studio on Sunday and I was explaining how my collections of leftovers are a more tangible reminder of the day's work than anything I could write, and one of my friends said 'it's evidence!' - he's quite right as can be seen from the 13/11/16 leftovers that are trimmings from sewing. I have been sewing up fragmentary parts of the 'walk' painting with the intention of creating a wearable painting that can be 'walked' in the landscape by another friend (a life model) whom I will employ to perform the walk, which I will film. 
On my walk earlier today I was gazing through an oak tree that had shed all but the last few of its leaves. I recognised in the shape of the leaves the path that I had mapped out as my walk and see this as a kind of echo of what seems to be present in my subconscious. I sometimes wonder when I'm walking if I should be taking drawn, written or photographic notes… I sometimes do this, but I prefer to allow for my surroundings to enter into my subconscious osmotically and then emerge in this more surprising way.

    I am interested in things and processes that are often overlooked or spurned as irrelevant. In 2006 I began working an allotment in Derbyshire that became my field for research and working the ground has been important ever since.
