MM3 updates . .

The studio is active these days with so many projects occupying various regions of the J Space . . The new mail boxes for the Duck Building came into operation yesterday and some interesting additions to the Mailmania 3 project are showing up. This card from Wacky Stuff in with the mix. I'm revisiting some ideas for sculptural works that were part of an installation years ago . . and after several conversations with artists yesterday about what motivates us to do the work we do . . I decided to let go the restraints and just make the pieces I feel impelled to do . . Onward into the journey of this day . .

Newfoundland Roots

A recent visit with Mrs Bennett had the knitting needles come out when I was describing a certain piece of sculpture to her . . she asked if I knew of certain method of knitting to create a coil . . . in a moment she had cast on the stitches and was giving me the instruction. She was teacher for the Grenfell Mission in Newfoundland. I have now picked up a simple technique that I can apply to some larger works.
Many Thanks . .
