After a long and overdue cleaning session this morning I thought it a good time to capture some images 

of the house. 

From the library, a book about Kettles Yard. Discovered this wonderful home gallery that is now in the

 loving care of Cambridge University.  First discovered this house while admiring

 the works of primitive painter, Alfred Wallis. There's a lot to admire about this house. 

Jim and Helen Ede's approach to

 the home as art and living space reflects many of my own ideas.

 Recent creative endeavours have seen me making this simple incense dish, made of white clay to echo

 the round shapes that are characteristic of my paintings.  Its surface is enhanced with crushed granite and

 the clay sealed with clear lacquer.  The rim is shallow and undulating and the base gently slopes towards 

the centre. With the addition of an incense stick, the whole is reminiscent of a coastal reed growing in a 

sandy dune on some remote and wild shoreline.
