I've spent the day meeting and greeting people who made it to 37 Maddock's Street as part of Saltaire Arts Trail.  My new work was well received with lots of positive comments.

A big thank you to Rosie who opened her home as part of the trail.  I had an interesting day comparing tales of Japan with her whilst welcoming guests.  Rosie is a photographer.  Her images capture fleeting moments from her travels and uniquely British scenes.

Thank you to Saltaire Arts Trail for including me in their refreshing programme of contemporary art.

I've been very busy of late finishing off my new work 'Bramley and Girtwistle' - a series of five boxes exploring an imaginary world.  Their first showing is at Saltaire's Art Trail and I set them up this morning at 37  Maddock's Street.  They look great set upon Rosie's (the owner of the said Maddock's Street house) vintage furniture.  The sun even shone as I embarked on a creative tour of the open houses around the beautiful village of Saltaire.  It is such a wonderful idea to be able to explore the village and view diverse and interesting work in an unusual setting.

Saltaire's Arts Trail is open tomorrow and bank holiday Monday.  I'll be on hand at 37 Maddock's Street on Monday to greet visitors and talk about my work.  Why not come along?
