Rediscovery of No 8. Barnacle fossil

This piece was No 8 from the 'Voyage of Discovery' exhibition in Cambridge. 
"Barnacle Fossil"  Mixed Media Collage. 

It was bought by Marion Heasman and is in her collection in Bonsall, Derbyshire. Whilst visiting her today, I saw the work again for the first time in 3 years. It was one of the largest pieces in the show (larger than A1) and i was really pleased to see how good it looks in situ at her new house. I was also very surprised at how "worm-like" the barnacle shapes look. probably because I've been focussing on information for my new exhibition.  I may use one of these photographs as the starting point for Movement of Worms piece No 4 'Stucture'

No 26 Ledges on hillside

No 26 ledges on hillside
"If the accumulation of disintegrated and rolled worm-castings were  to become 
confluent along horizontal lines, ledges would be formed." Charles Darwin 1881

Well I really can't expect this to carry on, but the first piece of work for the exhibition is "in the bag". 
Along with the tin design, and the front cover of the accompanying book, 
Work Number 26 is complete.

It is a short video (6 mins) which will loop. And from that a set of 12 prints (stills from the video).
One will appear as a page in the book/catalogue and the whole set of 12 will be available as a 
limited print edition. Very very pleased with it.   Here's a taster.
