My Karelia project is now finished, at
least for the current moment. I think I will let the dust settle for
the next few month and then come back to all the material i have
gathered, made and found in the past few years of this project.
Perhaps i will compile it all and make it in to a book that comes
with a dvd. In any case that decision can sleep until the summer is
here and I have some perspective.
The decision to put HESA inprint on
hold was also made in the new year. We will not be publishing any new
work or magazines until June at the very earliest. It has been a hard
choice to make but one all three of us agreed was necessary.
This in turn has given me some much needed rest and free time to let
my creativity mend. I felt by the end of 2012, that I was pushing
myself so hard that I could not see the wood for the trees so to
speak. I thought I could take a quick break but that is not me and
after an agonizing week of boredom i have started up some new
projects.
I have decided to try writing my first
novel and so far it is going quite well. I am enjoying getting back
to writing and researching all sorts of random things from poisons to
the circus in the 1800's. I have given myself a target of writing one
chapter a week, which seems to suit me. I hope to have a version
ready by the end June. Who knows if anyone will ever read it, but I
will know I can do it.
The new album by Tristan my band is
almost ready. The cover has been shot, the music is ready to go to
mastering and we are excited by the process and outcome. You can
listen to the music here.
I have applied to a few little art
things but feel like i need to give myself some time to just make new
work for now and concentrate on getting exhibitions etc after that.
