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

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

    Reading.

    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

  • River

    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.

  • River

    Tournus to Toulon.

  • River

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

  • River

    “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.

  • River

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