TINY VOYAGES OF DISCOVERY: ELLIE CHANEY REPORTING..


Here is a link to Ellie's latest blogpost.
It's a really good read with more details of her plans, her work at the cottage and the conversation with Jayne Wilkinson of South Cumbria Rivers Trust and the ways in which we hope to link up with her.

OPEN SESSION: ALEX BLACKMORE. PHOTOS BY LINDSAY WARD

Alex's 'Obby 'oss is acquiring substance.

Our visitors were greeted by the sight of its' skull, built from sheets of  Correx, peering through the leaded windows of the cottage.

Inside Alex was giving the skull volume and corporeality with miles of scrunched tinfoil and hot glue.

Our open session in the cottage was again recorded by Lindsay Ward. The results include the images below,  and you can see more of Lindsay's  work here..

OPEN SESSION: ELLIE CHANEY



Just finished our first Open session at the Sir John Barrow Cottage, Ellie and me were in there working on drawings and sound edits and talking about the project and the cottage to a steady procession of visitors.Here's the scene at about 9am, with the sunlight shining on the free rhubarb.



First in was Jayne Wilkinson from South Cumbria Rivers Trust, Ellie and Jayne will be keeping in touch regarding Ellie's waterways work, and looking for Jayne and SCRT to provide the science bit..








Next up was Steve Benn from Natural England, another great supporter of our work in recent years, and a couple of our local
councillors and from there on we
were always busy, and the
comments in the visitors book
show that there's real interest in what we are doing.


It was a good day; a great way of getting the word out.
We'll be back in Friday with Alex Blackmore, and there'll be some images  here soon  from Ulverston based @Lindsay Ward Photography, here's a link to her site:
