Last night I watched a beautiful nature art film - a work in progress created by a film maker friend of mine. He is working on a commission for a hospital: slow scenes of landscape, nature, buildings around Derby through the seasons. Delight! It reminded me how I love the visual arts. I don't have much time for art right now - work crazily busy, doing an MA, doing up my house... :) I would love to do more sculpture. Here is one of mine from a while back...
It is perhaps useful for me to remember how much of a visual person I am. When I was a child I had a passion for maps. I would copy, draw, and read maps while struggling to write. Maps seemed to speak my language. If you had asked me at the age of 10 what I wanted to do when I grew up, I would have answered "Map maker!" I'm still much happier with pictures and images, than I am with words.
