My friend Robert Garnham kindly wrote a review of my exhibition at the Arnolfini gallery in Bristol while it was lovely to be so comlimented so often and gently I felt sad not to being able to thank him – but this is it.I feel in this blog , by answering his clear, plain and crystal writing I could answer his with style an answer and stimulus. (Thus) write myself again. And have the weather of the writing weekend group with Helen Sheppard and Lucy English.
Welcome to the dances with Red Fudo again. I am so glad he has a new role with me with me – working with the Aphasia.When the words stop I will I will put a ( bracket ) and wait for the word it put it in later when it gets back or make one up…. so whatkind of rhythm kind of writing the writing will be goodness only knows. I hope the blog again will look at what I have learned, the rhythms and feelings once again with poetry.
One surprise from the exhibition is the Victoria book( a large sketch book ) was used a lot with lots of pencil sketches –
some eyes looking back

faces and portraits

It was wonderfu; to have drawing from children who were helped from carers and parents, quite even little ones, going through an exibition.The Visitors book( with lined papers ) was also well used. Some of those kind words will go into our report to the report to the Arts Council report Liz and I will have to write in December.
Red Fudo’s feet are aching and would really be dancing but i think he is walzing gently, with spinning ,with such lovely praise by the visitors.
I see you- the pencil draws the vision
I see you at this time
I see you with these friends
My face shows I wish to help you
My face shows you remind me of struggle
My face reminds me of my uncle’s stroke
Your hat means your words are dulled
Your hat means your blood has flowed
