Happy Solstice!

Happy Solstice!! 💗

This is the main reason for the post because it's good to celebrate the changing seasons. 

Good to celebrate change because there is no thing more inevitable than change.

For a change today, I went through to Cupar to check out some of the artwork on the Arts Trail and saw Celie Byrne's fantastic portraits, alongside them, the collages of Phill Jupitus which definitely bring a smile. As well, a SKELF Sonic Chamber installation and Artobotic.

There was also a very amusing, well illustrated, modern tapestry about a certain public figure. Extremely tongue in cheek and a bit of a protest about the politics of today. I was lucky enough to win an original artwork from the artist Wulfgar The Bard from a machine. For £10 you win an original artwork from one of 3 artists. 

Lovely chat with some folks and a cup of tea, all in all a great interlude to my usual life.

The sea ice moved slowly as the ferry passed, and from the shore, the solid ice held the silence.

Archipelago Series #I

This is the very first (at the moment) of a  series of 10 images inspired by the archipelagos in the Baltic Sea, between Stockholm, Mariehamn, Turku and Helsinki.

The trip was for my sister's birthday and that happened to be in March. Maybe not the best time to go (locals were a little surprised to see us at that time of the year) but with Brexshit in process we decided to go then.

Therefore the weather wasn't always the best. During the ferry journeys it was often very windy, wet and mostly snowing. Quite glorious in it's own way. Whe we did see the islands in passing they were sometimes almost completely obscured by snow but the ice near their shores was thick and undulating slowly as the boat passed by.

 

Another two from the Archipelago Series. 

The series is being exhibiting as part of Cupar Arts Eden, an art trail in Cupar, Fife, Scotland.

Cupar Arts is a voluntary community charity. It aims to combine high quality arts events with community involvement focusing around Cupar’s public and natural assets. Really pleased to have been picked to exhibit.
