January has rushed by. I’ve been spending time editing Disrupted Landscapes with the intention of making a small book/zine. A few Dummies have already been made, but there’s still lots of decisions to make. I’m hoping that the final East Meets West Masterclass in mid-February will be helpful.
Installation of work at Photofusion
The Photofusion SELECT/21 show was up until 21 January. On 19 January there was an online artists talk with Katy Barron, who had curated the installation of SELECT. The format of short artist presentations with questions and answers worked really well, and it was interesting to hear the other artists speak about their work.

In late January I had a few days in Derbyshire to coincide with a meeting at Derby Quad with the other participants in the East Meets West Masterclass. It was great to be able to see some of the beautiful countryside, to visit Stanage Edge, Eyam Village, Bakewell and Padley Gorge. I wish I could have had more days to explore and take photographs. The meeting went well, and there was a sense we had made good progress during the day. It also coincided with a new exhibition at Quad, where my friend Sarah-Jane Field was exhibiting and that was a real bonus.
Finally, it was nice to hear that my video, Chalk, had made the Official Selection in the Monthly Film Festival.
