Nothing more was detailed about her - no name, husband, family, occupation. Who was she and what trace was left of her life? Through electoral rolls and census data I have addresses of places she lived but most of these houses have been demolished and even the streets themselves no longer exist. The 1891 electoral roll lists her as "age 20, married, dressmaker neither employee nor employed" but later data lists no occupation.<br />

The exhibition continues until 20th December 2015 at South Sq Gallery, Thornton (see previous post for details). This work, created over the last 6 months, was inspired by Mrs Poole who lived in my house 100 years ago. Here's a little taster:<br />

I love the way the ink seeped and feathered in this print. It really reminds me of the landscape of the moors. Sometimes those serendipitous bits are so good but impossible to repeat.<div>

And one of these Canal Company Warehouse prints has recently been sold at Shipley Triangle, who have some of my work for sale locally. I'm guessing it's therefore going to be hanging on a wall nearer to home, but they go very easily through the post, so who knows?</div>

This great little egg shell, about 3cm across, was recovered by Alice. I was very excited by the fact that you can see where the bird has tapped its way out of the shell.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
However, as I write this and look at the photos I realise that the shell is broken inwards rather than out and what I have is more likely an egg that has been attacked by another bird. Rather more sad, but that's life I guess.<br />

At last the Wide Angle photography exhibition I've been working on for the last few months is up and I can get back to doing some creative stuff.<br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back at the beginning of the year when I was asked whether I'd like to get involved either by exhibiting or helping organise, I didn't realise quite how much I was inadvertently taking on!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The idea was to invite local people to submit photographs on a theme and put up an exhibition in the Kirkgate Centre, Shipley: take the art out of galleries and into people's everyday lives sort of approach. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Easy!....? No quite so. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you can see, one of the challenges is that it's not a place designed to be, nor dedicated to being, a gallery, so we had to work around oddly shaped spaces, trunking, doors and other uses of the hall. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, what is really nice is that all manner of people use the centre for so many different purposes and this is the backdrop to whatever else they are doing, just as a picture on the wall at home would be. </div>

<div>
Organising this has been a very steep learning curve and a self-taught intensive training course in curating, management, advertising & use of social media.<br />
<br />
Once I'd realised that the reason I wasn't involved was not that I wasn't part of the inner core, but that there was no inner core, I decided to just take hold of what had been started and make something of it.<br />
<br />
Let's say it hasn't been perfectly organised, but we did it. And it was a very small we!<br />

Fourteen photographers are exhibiting with wide-ranging styles & subject matter. My photos are from the Nazca lines in Peru (Earth from Air) and on the Salt Plains of Uyuni, Bolivia (Sun, Salt & Water), both amazingly surreal places. </div>

The Wide Angle exhibition is on until <span style="font-family: inherit;">October at </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kirkgate Centre, 39a Kirkgate, Shipley, W.Yorks, BD18 3EH. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tel 01274 580186 </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's generally open weekdays 09.30 - 15.30 but is also open at other times when the building is in use, so if you're making a special trip, it's best to phone beforehand. Alternatively, check out their website and combine the exhibition with one of the amazing mixture of things that go on there. </span></div>

Number 1: a bit of jigsaw on the path in the park. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Number 2: an interesting, battered, embossed bit of old metal with 4 slots cut in it. I had to balance on rocks in the stream to get this one. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Number 3: a very dried out frog. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
It's hard to know which is my favourite. I think I like the strange combination of the three.</div>

So many reminders of the Industrial Revolution and it's impact on my local environment exist in Shipley, not least the old canal-side buildings. The appropriately named Canal Company Warehouse is one of my favourites. Now in a very neglected state, it remains an interesting and striking structure.<br />

I love the patches of corrugated iron and the rusting skeletal structure revealed where the covering has been lost. In my lino print I concentrated on the patterns and shapes, the twisted form of the fence creates a fluid contrast against the starker lines of the building. <br />

Actually, I really like the chain link fencing. Initially I wasn't sure whether to include it or not but once cut and printed I was swayed. It seems to create a depth to the print, leading the eye in and out.<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Working in lino is quite physical. It's good gouging out the marks you want to make but needs to be thought out and is quite a prolonged process of cutting, printing, drying, cutting, printing, drying.... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
a contemplative approach!</div>

Sometimes I want to work in a quicker, more spontaneous manner with a freer use of colour and marks.<br />
<br />
In these paintings of the warehouse I also wanted to bring the fluidity of the water into the picture.<br />

Originally the warehouse would have been used for storing goods being transported by barges. Nowadays, that function has disappeared but on a still day the reflection on the water's surface is almost a mirror image blurring the boundary between water and brick, bringing together once again the building and the canal.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is so exciting when friends find bits of stuff that they know I will love and they encourage my weird collecting habits by picking them up for me. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few weeks ago I had one such unexpected gift in the post. I recognised the handwriting as that of my old college friend, Fiona, who I rarely see now as she lives way down south. Her note said that she'd been cleaning the house, found the enclosed and decided to send it to me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inside the folded paper, with its warning to open carefully, was this butterfly and extra wing. One antenna had broken off but other than that it survived the journey intact. What a privilege to see all the detail, colours and textures of this delicate little creature close up.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And as if that wasn't enough, this week I got another parcel from Fi, somewhat bulkier than the previous one but very light. Inside was a note saying how exciting it had been to find this on a walk along the beach recently. Wrapped within lots of paper packaging was this beautiful bird skull. I just love the delicate sculptural quality of it.</span><br />

I started printmaking two years ago and this is one of my early prints and still one of my favourites. Yesterday at the Shipley Alternative Market a number of people commented on it and I realise today that it's not even on my blog... until now.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">In 2009 I was in Rosario, Northern Argentina where I climbed many, many steps of a monument to the flag (!) to take in the view over the river. It was good but in the opposite direction the sunlight was catching the blinds in windows of an otherwise unprepossessing apartment block. I loved the pattern of the balconies,windows and the blinds stacked up at different levels, glinting in the sunlight.</span></div>

As I was working on this print I kept thinking that it reminded me of books stacked on shelves and many people have asked whether that's what it is. To me it doesn't matter what you see in it. I just loved the image and wanted to work with it. I tried it in three different colour schemes and it has a different feeling in each.</div>

and a staircase in an abandoned works were the starting point of my latest print, the second in a series of staircase prints that I'm working on in collaboration with photographer Simon Sugden.<br />
<br />
Countless feet must have trodden these steps. Now there is just a stillness about the place.<br />

<br />
Taking his photographs as starting points, I'm working on a series of prints based on staircases in empty buildings. There's a feeling of somewhere leading up, leading down, not knowing what will be found. Stairs lead us somewhere, but we're not sure where. People have walked these stairs before us. Will anyone walk them again? Who was here? What happened?<br />
<br />
This is the first photo that I started with. It's from some abandoned offices in an old building the centre of Bradford.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKISHXtQNhHdQtIK2XmQVdDtDoKZp1h3YbggqS5rtTU0gsUNGoZyLWZ8dhibt_K3UwdJl2vRhFRj9NhbCoMp7lw9I7eboyT8035R-oGXePD5pbbsoX0GblrwOqivKoiKuDDgVgG8GyPVs/s1600/Stairs+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-LSikgJ7f2DC1FLGgDSAWOkHjlZ3DEmUYEe-XiAO4MAC_D2qeFmMpfy3i166dkskdzxuFE1CQIzgrFv1Vdx5yqsDwLhu3uJ29oXRDSH-roE8ObSEJmeAVIEH4KJWDix9c10EcZiZtbg/s1600/Stairs+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-LSikgJ7f2DC1FLGgDSAWOkHjlZ3DEmUYEe-XiAO4MAC_D2qeFmMpfy3i166dkskdzxuFE1CQIzgrFv1Vdx5yqsDwLhu3uJ29oXRDSH-roE8ObSEJmeAVIEH4KJWDix9c10EcZiZtbg/s1600/Stairs+4.jpg" height="400" width="232" /></a><br />
Initially I played around with repeating and flipping the stairs, multiplying and staggering them to create a confusion of up and down, in and out.<br />
<br />
I wanted to combine the stairs image with text relating to the past life of the building but I've not been able to find out what the offices were used for.<br />
<br />
Instead, I decided to use documents relating to the past of my own home and the people of its past. They too have come and gone, leaving behind their mark, but mostly unnoticed and unremembered.<br />
<br />
I kept the script fairly lightly coloured so it didn't fight for attention with the spiralling of the stairs.<br />
<br />
Much of the text is hidden so you notice the words but can't quite work out what it says. Like the people of the past to whom it refers. We get glimpses of their lives, but there's so much we can only guess about them. Just like the life of the old offices.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weekend I was at Joshua Tetley's 236th birthday party at The Tetley in Leeds as part of a celebration of Yorkshire creativity. I took some of my prints, including this one that I made a while back and blogged about previously (see entry Thinking of Home, 1 April 2013). </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A man asked about the print and in particular about the Chinese postage stamp image on it. He is a lecturer in Chinese politics and told me that the stamp celebrates the first anniversary of The Peoples' Republic of China (1949 - 1950). Not reading Chinese myself, it was exciting to learn that and also that he decided to buy it to hang on his office wall!</div>

Dreadful", a terrifying saga reinventing some of the most terrifying and

1000 artists to “illustrate a monster, create an eerie scene, or share your
greatest fear of something that lurks within us all—in the shadows.”</span></div>

Shame they couldn't find the head, but just look at the amazing fine bones in the feet, visible through the dessicated skin.<div>
