These are studies undertaken from my visit to Tresco, Scilly in November 08.
These are working paintings, drawings and texts of different areas of the Island that I feel drawn to.
Some of the work went
on to form larger pieces in their own right, some are ongoing ideas and some
helped form the book Down.
Visiting Tresco has become an annual seasonal part of my working year, each
time something else is added to my experiance or enriches the last one. This
visit coincided with the approach of winter - moments of lucid thought in
a sharpning air and paling light.
A late flowering before the shroud of winter.

Sunday 16 - to a bigger space
Monday 17 - steps from old notes
Tuesday 18 - and this, this is the trick of the light
Wednesday 19 - just before the day shuts
Thursday 20 - from the east of my recollection
