Rayleigh Windmill Installation closes..

My installation at Rayleigh Windmill closed on Saturday 23rd July 2011.  I met some really interesting people during the run and all were enthusiastic of the 'life' that I had temporarily brought back to the 200 year old building.  During the twelve days worth of 3 hour sessions, our best attendance was 41 and lowest was 10.  Comments received were very encouraging, such as: "This display is really unique and should be here permanently", "Mesmerising", "Fascinating, atmospheric, hypnotic!" and "...the window quite ingenious".
Here is a taste of the installation, followed by the main screen edit...

Blimey, I'm in the Essex Open...

I dejectedly mooched along to the Beecroft to collect my three 'rejected' entries for the 2011 Essex Open (9 July - 1 October) and, surprise, surprise, they had actually accepted one of my mono screen prints, Ethereal I .
Well, well, well...

'Ethereal I', mono screen print

Record attendance a't'mill so far...

Had 37 visitors to the windmill this morning (including a group from Cape Town over for a wedding). Lots of positive comments, including "Brings it to life". Now getting ideas for my next show. Watch this space.

Rayleigh Windmill back to life...

I have a sound and video installation in the 200 year old Windmill at Rayleigh.  It is based on some filming I did at Denver Mill in Norfolk (www.denvermill.co.uk).

Hopefully you will like it.  I'm there every day it's open - come along and have a chat.
