Works-in-Retreat



Work-not-in-progress (This one is driving me bananas!) 
The beginning of work made referencing lines in a hymn
What happened next

Differnt variation on same words


 

I've just looked up the opposite of 'progress' and one of the answers was 'retreat'. Yes. That seems an honest description of what I am doing.. I am making works-in-retreat

There are several lines of investigation I am tackling in these remaining weeks of my residency. One of these, is the above series of ink and pastel works, referencing a song taken from the evening Compline service. It's a very beautiful and haunting song about surrender, sleep and death....

subjects which always make for stimulating dinner party conversation.
