Richard Keating

29th September to 15th October. Reading “The Continental Aesthetics Reader: 2nd Edition” Editied by Clive Cazeaux, 2011 and travelling back from Corsica.

completing drawings in River sketch book and reading about continental aesthetics.

Drawing coming to an end.

Reading.

Drawing outside, using colour as the river turns into the sea, as the communication begins to loose its urgency, having made the journey.

Reading.
“And what a number of invertible dynamisms there are in this spiral! One no longer knows right away whether one is running toward the centre or escaping.” Gaston Bachelard.

Lucy much better. Amazed by Richard’s underwater photography.

Reading.
“it is only through active transformation of or engagement with the world that people and things acquire meanings.” Jean-Paul Sartre

Toulon to Ville Di. WE cross the Mediterranean and our journey ends although we are still travelling with Lucy on her journey to recovery. This again feels like limbo despite being pleased to meet-up with friends Richard and Lorna.

Tournus to Toulon.

St.Quinten to Tournus. Contained rivers, musical rivers and improving news.

“I still don’t like the taste of tea.” Tea remains for me link to family ties in the north west.

Leave for tunnel crossing, mobile phone contact, onto St.Quinten. Flow of family connection through blood/gene pool (my dad had kidney stones), and communicated values. Technology, communication and subjectivity.

continued drawing Lucy with references to the flow of intertwined lives and families.
