Today I Go Public

This is where I will be weaving for a month next year!  I was a bit afraid to post before in case they changed their minds :-), but no, from Feb 1st - Mar 1st 2013 I am Artist in Residence at Chichester Cathedral (they are even giving me a badge!!!  Hop-te-tooty).  I can go for something complex / fine and large because it does not have to be finished within the month; I can have an exhibition in the autumn to display the new piece, and other work (= Lament).  I have to do a day in school, and a family workshop as well as a talk to MA students at WD (who jointly fund the residency).  WD also offer free board & lodging and studio space if required.  The spire fell down in 1861 and there is currently a large project to gather and digitise the records and memories of the event.  They are happy for me to go with a theme of rebuilding / resurrection rather than collapse, and I can have access to the archive for visual research.  I am so excited I could bite a grape.  Little me, next to Gustav Holst's grave and round the corner from a Chagall window, John Piper tapestry and Sutherland painting.
