^{I am excited about seeing our ‘intervention’ come to life in the window of the Museum tomorrow evening. A perfect stage for our ‘theatre of the absurd’. And as I read about some of Samuel Beckett’s works being staged in London and Edinburgh, his ‘stains upon silence’ I hope that our small ‘intervention’ will cause some to pause and reflect on the vanity of life... a small scratch in the shiny surface of Woodbridge.}

A nasty case of nostalgia.

^{August 4th}

^{Preparations continue for the installation of my work at Woodbridge Museum early next week. A frenzy of activity and decision making, dialogue and discussion with curator Helen.}

 

^{The late evening walks beside the River Deben, soothing and repetitious, evoke a series of overlapping memories. The rescuing from the path of a stranded caterpillar or an upside down beetle, the spotting of a hedgehog track in the deep undergrowth, the late mews of the gulls. A concertina of years.}

 

^{OH DEAR, DEAR!!!! a very nasty case of sentimental nostalgia which must be excised soon before the poison spreads.}
