Waiting for Mum. Physio appointment Ballyvaughan.
12.30 -1.30pm

I take a stroll along the shore by the quay while waiting for Mum.
The only other person is a lady and her dog.
The sound of small aero plane overhead and birdsong. The fragments of a white porcelain cup scattered amongst the rocks catch my attention. I gather them up and enjoy re arranging them into a new pattern leaving it behind for someone else to discover.
As I return, I notice a stack of lobster pots repurposed from old plastic containers. These have been left standing for some considerable time. Inside each contains a new miniature micro- environment, some with moss, new plant life, gravel, and rubbish.

The concept behind this project is focused on negative space. In drawing this is the space that surrounds an object, it is an active space and an essential part of a composition.
I am interested in exploring this through observation of phenomenal pauses and moments.
What are the gaps and spaces in our lives? How often do they occur, go unnoticed, or filled with distractions? What happens when we actively bring attention and awareness to these pauses? What are the surprises, stories, poetry that can be revealed there?
These posts are a document of times spent waiting, the pauses when action is suspended temporarily or in transit, between one place and another. The unsung intervals in the busy noise of our lives.

Moments spent Waiting.
