Books at the Impressions Gallery, and Alice back home...

Little update for tonight with our recent happenings...


The Impressions Gallery, in Bradford, are holding a big photography event shortly, part of which features an art book open call.  Now we have a couple of our own self-published books from older projects, so thought we'd enter, and happily, we were accepted.

Amy is entering the book from her project "The Home Is...", and I (Ben) am entering the book from "Inflate/Deflate".

The book fair is on Saturday the 15th October.


In other news, after a surprisingly busy summer, it was back off to the Lakes last weekend to retrieve most of the Alice in Wonderland stuff.  Apart that is from the blasted Jabberwocky sculpture, which I had no room for anywhere, and which is now happily part of the sculpture trail at the hall.


Clare, who'd organised the show, offered to home the sculptures until we collected it all.  An offer she possibly regretted after we left it there for several months, but needs must...  Apart from a missing eye and a bit of the teeth, the rapidly-thrown-together Cheshire Cat has done quite well.  The card arch, which has grown a little bit of mould and moss, has otherwise survived too.  Both are going up in the in-laws garden. 


More amazingly the rocking horse fly pieces also survived pretty well.  They are destined for another few homes around the country.


The MDF has warped artfully in the rain; I'm slightly amazed at how they survived the sun, rain, wind, hail, thunderbolts and lightening (very, very frightening).


Dozens of rocking horse fly sculptures, awaiting minor restoration...

What next?  Well we still need to post some pics from a recent wedding shoot, and this weekend we're off doing some more railway photography...
