This morning: Images from our allotment and snapshots from the studio.
The plot has transformed since my posting of photos in February.
I could not think of a better metaphor for what has been happening since I started the reside residency.
The journey within 'my room' has been absolutely amazing.
Although I have not shared much of this here, I can honestly say that the very virtual presence of the reside residency alone has shaped and supported all of my moves between people, painting, twitterland, home, teaching, Ipswich, Manchester and London.
The existence of reside space enables me to connect to things and people within 'my room' in a certain kind of way.
It beautifully assists an internal process, negotiates a space and position in 'my room' which seems to have let things grow naturally.
A few weeks ago I carefully looked at the reside blogs by Karl, Corinna, Susan, Anthony, Michaela and Bridget. I can't believe mine is soon coming to an end. Not quite yet, there are one or two things I am hoping to include in 'my room' before I leave!

I took the following studio snapshots today on my return from the allotment. A sunny and warm day here in Ipswich!
This large drawing/collage I unrolled and put up this week in my studio to see what I made 13 years ago whilst liveing on the island of Ruegen in Germany.
Pondering over how it relates to my current work.
