Spending Time with Words

I think a part of me has been a bit shy of words up until now….believing that a picture could paint a thousand of them easily so, why the need? This from someone who loves books and has run out of book shelves! This from someone who has used words in previous works! This from someone who is in awe of good writing, in how it transports us, how it ‘speaks’ our language!

As I speak, I am embarking on a journey of spending time with words again; revisiting them, exploring language, text and writing in all its forms. Looking at how words and imagery can work in harmony - with me as some sort of conductor.

It involves discovering different writing styles, writing ‘morning pages’ and giving way for the pen to flow.

Thank you Arts Council.
