While my 'mini' show was running at the Eco Park, I also took part in their summer arts market on June 24 to help promote Harena Now (see Fig 1 and 2) and other work. On arrival at the market I discovered that one of the images had fallen off the wall, and another was … Continue reading Art market and workshop
I was ready at 6pm, with tea, coffee and rum punch on hand. I had allowed for up to 30 guests. Only 6 came, with a handful of people wandering in from the Otter Surfboards open evening taking place on the same night. In one sense this was a disappointing turnout but it had been … Continue reading Open night at Eco Park.
Having decided this exhibition was to be a 'mini' show of Harena Now, I did not promote the event as widely as I intend to promote my larger show in July. Having said that, I did use social media, online networks, noticeboards and via the venue to give it a plug. In Figs. 1 to … Continue reading Show promotion for Eco Park venue
Having chosen not to frame my work, and having researched my chosen magnetic hanging system, I was feeling quite assured that the install for this first 'mini' Harena Now show at Mount Pleasant Eco Park would go quite smoothly.

I popped over to Falmouth Uni's Photolab today to collect my test print. I am perfectly happy with my choice of paper for my final show images. I have opted for the Premium Fine Art-Hahnemühle Photo Rag. It gives a beautiful soft texture feel, and kept the whites white while the colours resolved at a good … Continue reading Fish Factory and Photolab visit
There are things I really need to get on with. Much of my plans and musings are going on inside my head at present. The big house move is over and its time to unpack the photographic boxes so that I can begin "living my work", as my lecturer Prof. Wendy McMurdo told me I … Continue reading Pull out the stops

Hopefully after today, I will have a more fixed idea of where I will be showing but at present I have secured time with the Fish Factory in Penryn from Thursday, July 26 for a week.
