A visit from Sir Nick

' Unique'; 'Fascinating'; ' Unusual'; ' Bizarre but Beautiful' are some of the comments made by a small but steady stream of visitors to my exhibition 'Baggage' now in its fifth day. As always one of the nicest things about putting up a body of work for public show is meeting lovely, interesting people, not the least of whom was Sir Nicholas Serota on Friday evening. He spent about fifteen minutes in the gallery quietly looking at the work. I felt greatly honoured and privileged. ( Photo to follow next week! )

Although apparently according to one elderly lady ' this is not work that people in St Ives are looking for' there is, it seems to me, an intangible thread connecting my work to this place.
