Does anyone know about #homingScars? The scars limpets make over time to create a better seal when it is low tide. The scar grows while the limpet grows and takes its shape. After the limpet forages for food it returns to their home. The repeated purposeful action reminded me of human pilgrimages where things touched over and over and over. Does the worn down granite steppingstone that fits a foot perfectly in any way resemble the scar? Or the shiny toe of a statue of a saint…?

Just slowly filling my mastospace with some of my work
A painting of a sunset near Leeds U.K.
The painting is gone to live at its final wall destination. It was part of a little exhibition, in a space we’re locally very proud of; Teggs Nose Gallery, in the Tearoom in Teggs Nose park Cheshire U.K.

So; a throwback piece of uni work (20 years ago)
Inspired by a species of woodworm. A hand bound book with prints from the branch, and a handful of unusable woodworm stamps
(bark beetle - Hylesinus fraxini)
A different species is called Boekdrukker in Dutch (book printer) which is what inspired this little work.
