		<description><![CDATA[A few thoughts today about living-art, art/horticulture, and the old chestnut, what makes &#8216;art&#8217; art anyway?

		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d share some work i n progress using leaves from Westonbirt Arboretum and a couple of botanical gardens in Cornwall.

I&#8217;m always picking up bits and pieces wherever I go, a leaf here, a rusty cog there, its something I&#8217;ve done my whole life, and I find it very satisfying when they all come [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right now I&#8217;m occupied with thinking about the overlap in my practice between art, learning and interpretation, as in interpretation for heritage or environmental sites.
Most of my work at the moment falls into three main areas -

I went back to college Lake Reserve yesterday, for the first time since I confirmed which hide I&#8217;m going to be working in, to create my installation.
It was nice and quiet, with the odd family wandering about, so I had time to just sit quietly in the hide, to draw, write and see what was [...]]]></description>

Not quite enough room to link them into 360 degrees here but you get the idea; a gorgeous spot on National Trust land, with heather moorland, rocky crags, views out across the ocean and plenty of wind to blow away any thoughts or worries clogging the brain.

Its a beautiful and surprisingly large site, and I&#8217;ve driven past the half-hidden entrance many times on my way to visit family in Hertfordshire. There&#8217;s a large lake [...]]]></description>
