I've given myself a notional deadline of autumn next year to complete my Norfolk / Hebrides project. During the last couple of months I've been closely viewing and reviewing the pictures made so far in order to examine the strongest themes and to refine the direction of my work over the next twelve or so months.
The eventual outcomes of the project will I hope include publication and exhibition, either of which may combine material from my disparate locations. The two themes I intend to privilege are (mainly boat building) workshops, and places of worship or ritual. Both represent strong cultural and historic traditions here in rural Norfolk and in the Western Isles, and the recording of their visual character and codes with their similarities and differences is for me fascinating and exciting.

Regular viewers of my blog may remember this image made on Trotternish in north east Skye. It has been selected by the Royal Academy for their summer exhibition this year.
