Artist'sResponse

i have been off the blog for a while

 because

i recently received some difficult news

i was diagnosed with cancer

and as with most of these events it is not so much the news, 

but what you do with it

when i was told i went into the forest

and spend ten hours on the artwork above

it wasn't so much making the work

as placing myself into a creative state of mind

the state i needed to process the information i received

it worked and i was soon on top of it

i decided to document the whole of the story

then, send it in installments to my concerned family and friends

and regard it as just another art project

bought a voice recorder and will carry my camera

then, for some reason of magic

the ABC open picked it up

and asked me to tell my story in a series of guest blogs

which i decided to do

this is the link, it has one of my stories

and soon the story of 'the dance of life' will be published
