Ok after many months of working on a collaboration project with write/artist Sue Hutton, we are finally getting it together, six of the images are nearing completion and sue has provided short stories for each. The aim is to create another seven works with text and then self publish the finished product. this will be an ARTIST BOOK and should not be considered as anything other, there are a lot of people and even those organisers of art prizes who have no understanding of what an artist book is, some seem to think is to do with book binding, or altered books, and or photo books. Lots of crafty looking hand bound books are being mistaken for an actual artist book. This is a book that contains original images and text specifically created for the purpose of making and printing a book made by artists. Watch this space.
Big kate....leaving for good,!,,,,
Nine months, have passed since my darling husband had a stroke, I thought my world and his would dissolve into endless hours at the hospital, dreading each passing day not knowing if he would survive, walk, or talk again. We have returned to a life, different, difficult and at times heartbreaking, each day presents a new problem, sometimes I win sometimes I lose. The progress is slow, walking is tiring for him, talking is mumbled words, frustration on his part, he knows what he wants to say but can’t. As time passes we will make the best of each day, good or bad, the absence of friends is noted, only a few stay in touch now? It’s uneasy for others to understand that he is still the same man....needs friends..... Big Kate..my Albion printing press has gone, no doubt the first of many things to leave us, sad but necessary.
