I'm still working away full-time but found a sliver of time recently to make a new 1 minute film.
I entered it into UK Guardian's 1minutetosavetheworld Climate Change Film Competition -

Any comments appreciated and hope your tree listening work is going well, my small forest is growing famously in these totally wet Irish summers ;-)

...I've received a message (via Rebecca, MA student) to contact you regarding a tutorial; would Tuesday afternoon be ok with you?
...hope you two are well...keep shining...Andi+
For the quick reply, heading off today.
Only in London for Wed and Thurs this week, so unfortunately will only be a quick flyover.
I'm looking forward to following up more of your work
Thanks
Cathy
I had the good fortune to attend a talk by Suzanne Lacy in Dublin today. I went up to her afterwards and asked her about her work on a particular art and ecology project and she mentioned I should contact you and I found you on this site that I am already on!
I've a background in science as well as fine art and have mixed the two - and ever since coming to ireland I seemed to have been working alongside sustainable foresters... www.ecoartnotebook.com
I was very intrigued by the Groundworks exhibition - I'm going to order it -thanks so much for listing it. I'm off to the UK tomorrow in fact for the first RSA Art and Forestry seminar in London, so its nice to be making these connections. Like Suzanne, I am a full-time arts administrator, only part-time artist but its my slow art, community learning, forestry work that inspires me and if I'm lucky the downturn in the economy might mean a return to full time art

ps. I'm staying out of trouble...well, temporarily!
Thanks to Ann Rosenthal for encouraging me to push the work aside for a moment and smell the air in the the virtual Northwest!
