Reflections on the Day

Reflections on the day, because these two pieces are about different days. In Scotland as in many other areas near the sea, the days are variable both within the day and between days. Some days have dark bounds to them - early mornings and late evenings - but separated by brilliant sunlight and activity.

Other days are stormy. The cloud is low, the light is dim. Leaves, trees, detrius and water are blown by raw strands of wind.

Flow

I've just heard that a gallery in London has taken Flow as their name to indicate how things change.

For me in the "At the Margins of the Day" investigations, it has taken on the expression of the evidence of the passing of time. As in an estuary seen from above. The patterns in the flow of the water create layered lines on the shores and within the water. All this happens at the boundary between land and water, solid and fluid.

Serious Play

As I work with my theme of "At the Margins of the Day", playful elements keep creeping in. Some are serious, others just play. The flow boundaries that can be seen in estuaries from the air or in marsh lands, are really interesting elements about margins.

Others are just playful. This one needed an odd shape to fit with its strong colours.
