We put up the Christmas tree at Oriel Myrddin, Carmarthen this weekend.
The tree is papier mâchéd and is covered in old bottles with drawings on them. I really like the idea of taking one tree, covering it in recylcled paperbacks and decorating with discarded bottles. There’s so much narrative there. The tree was ours last Christmas and we left it outside in January for all the needles to drop. The paperbacks were old damaged books that had been read and discarded. I like the idea of the connection between tree and paper. Covering it in white gave a feeling of snow, but also defined the structure and made it like a drawing of a tree. The shadows are really interesting. The bottles are old. They’ve been collected over the past few months and given new life. They now take on a magical quality, catching the light. Each bottle has a new drawn label.

A Doe, A Deer – Caught by the River. A nice bit of writing from man of letters Ben Myers on CBTR. I saw a deer in north Yorkshire myself one day. It ran along the side of the car for a short moment and then was gone.

Can the arts and artists make a valuable contribution to a neighbourhood?
The event took place at the Knutton Road Studios, part of the new SOAR Works mixed-use development, in the heart of Parson Cross neighbourhood, Sheffield. This innovative model of culture within regeneration and housing renewal initiatives was a starting point for imagining the role that artists and studios could play within the ongoing development of a community.

Lady GaGa is fascinating. Like a delicate butterfly she astonishes
with her performances and personae. Here she talks almost endlessly
about limitlessness in response to a question from Marina Abramovic.
I really respect the intensity with which she responds

BBC – BBC Radio 4 Programmes – The Print Master. I met Susan up in Newcastle at Northern Print’s wonderful International Print Biennale. And actually as it happens I met Stanley Jones at the Curwen Press a little over 18 months ago. You can listen to what happened when Susan met Stanley on iPlayer for the next few days

Adam Mars-Jones reviews ‘Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?’ by Jeanette Winterson · LRB 26 January 2012. This is a really interesting and considered review of Jeanette Winterson’s latest book. It has interesting personal anecdotes and makes some interesting comparisons with JW’s writing.
