It's been a frenetic year filled with extending myself...

Preparation...
Sea Piano Fret from Lucinda Wells on Vimeo.
I'm making new work, lots of it as it happens, as it happens. Been rather hectic here by the sea for months on end, time's been flying and an uncountable number of waves have crashed into or gently nudged the shore during this period. Rather than me having to learn how to get around the problem of bandwidth for website video streaming the problem has dissolved as clever web developers now give me a nice little piece of code to use instead. I find this more often than not, this leaving a problem unattended for long enough that a solution appears, although don't take that as a piece of advice - if you have a problem that needs sorting out "use your loaf" as my Mum would say and get it checked out before deciding whether to leave it.
This video is a collaboration with my dear Mum, she who plays piano by ear (and her fingers). It has since evolved into something else which will be accessed soon via QR code to be found where else but the seafront. And that too has evolved into another thing else, both the QR code piece and this most recent one can be seen as part of Telling Stories: Hastings...

Testing, testing
Working hard again - heart heavy, hope it doesn't implode before I'm ready. Let's make it lighter and have some fun.
I like exploring.
Playing.
Finding out.
Life is a dream, isn't it? Anyway?
Hope David Francis doesn't mind me posting this since it's his playing? Ace Dude.

Trinity Buoy Wharf: Impromptu ebb and flow
Just had a surprising weekend. Spent two nights eating and drinking way too much for too long with Adrian and Kathrin and then the next night getting thoroughly rat-faced with Mo so it was amazing that I was able to find my way to and from TBW let alone get the installation in place and functioning properly, myself included. Fortunately a brilliant local connection helped me put up the work, contributed ideas, and climbed up high without ladder training, I'd taken a car full of all manner of things just in case, good job I did.
As a result I got to meet many people who got to meet some of my work. Of particular note: Hayden the composer and pianist with his wife? a lovely art therapist, he wrote a note to my Mum on the hanging wallpaper about playing the piano by ear. Roy the sculptor and his mate the porter from Hackney who sang along with the video correctly identifying each of the numbers. Sylvia from Golders Green who'd walked all the way from Canning Town, she's a Holocaust survivor and came with her juggling balls to juggle to any music that might be playing - she juggled to a fiddler outside the cafe. I gave her a lift back to the train since she'd also brought her slippers with her and was wearing them after having walked so far. I found her with her feet up on the sofa watching the movie and relaxing: she told me a bit of her story it was fascinating and sad and inspiring. The biker who is in his third year of doing "the knowledge" and hopes to qualify next year - they have to fund everything themselves, hard indeed. This future London Cabbie introduced me to The Aluna Project: www.alunatime.org/ - how lucky is that? I would have missed out on knowledge that really interests me had he not walked into my temporary space. Eileen and Michael Woods came in from Haring Woods Studio, they use art to communicate, educate and influence policy on climate change, it was great to meet them.
The artists and people who are based there were excellent, being helpful and generous.
People drew some lovely stuff on the wallpaper and it all related to the work even though I hadn't stipulated what they might do - that was really gratifying - and they seemed to react to whatever the person before had drawn too, a visual chinese whisper (much earlier post). It created a brilliant form of feedback - someone drew a heart awwww that was nice. Each time I re-entered the wallpaper room there was another surprise.
Putting something together at short notice was nerve-wracking. I've learned much from the people who came, the work itself and the space it was in. The work is developing into something more. It was a good thing to do.
