Up North

The past few weeks have been even more frenetic than normal - if possible - finishing FBSG, two Art in Action lectures (being me I decided to write completely new lectures - why do I always give myself twice as much work? Rhetorical), a lecture at the world renowned Leytonstone Art Festival (you haven't?), cooking for 20 at a 90th birthday party and dashing up to Thornton-le-Dale regularly because mea mater is failing badly. And that is why I am decamping up north on a semi-permanent basis as from tomorrow, dropping in at Film Farm en route to work out a mind map for the Reyntiens film (looks rather scrambled but seemed to make sense at the time, perhaps reflects our brains?!). I'm taking all my gear with me and hope to transcribe the Gordon Russell tapes and Reyntiens tapes and formulate the sequences for both films whilst in Yorkshire. It won't be easy, but I've been described as irrepressible so I'll have to live up to the description!

dreaming spires

So tomorrow I'm due to give 2 lectures at Art in Action, hotel paid for this evening - so this afternoon a quick research visit to Christ Church to see the Reyntiens windows in the Dining Hall. Quite Medieval grisaille looking. And the face on the left is a portrait of Alice in Wonderland (aka Liddell).
