Of course, notes from recently (via Talon Books) is not intended to be "still"... Perhaps one comes upon the pieces within it within glancing, unfolding mutual moments and movements that occur in their own ways/shifting attendance/fixed locale. talonbooks.com/books/notes-... @talonbooks.bsky.social

Looking forward to this, always a highlight of any year. We'll be walking the 150 miles from Sheffield to London (partly to save on train fares), with scheduled stops in Castle Donington, Market Harborough and Leighton Buzzard, where you can buy books from our improvised roadside stall.

Moving sale.
I'm in the studio going through some things and as the title suggests, hopefully we're moving house, all being well with the sale of our house. Not moving far, over the hill in fact but a whole different landscape . At the new place there is currently no studio so I'm trying to rationalise materials and work. Below are a few studio works, sketches that I'm putting up for sale.

A bit startling and grim to come across this in a local meadow/nut grove earlier in summer. Perhaps the moth is a cloudywing affected by a cordyceps fungus...but the visual lingers more than the 'what is it/what happened' part.
"maybe" a cloudywing moth, perhaps affected by a cordyceps fungus. It is attached to Queen Anne's lace by its proboscis. A bit startling to come across.
