Faldo and I soaking in the beauty of the solstice light magic. .... a close look and hope springs eternal.... O! How I love and still find magic in the moon and sun hanging in the sky together.... added to this the great pleasure and fun I have with the very long shadows high summer and midwinter cast.

O! how inspired I am, in the winter wonder magic, that of frost! Frost. Clears your vision, see closely, Mother at it's wonder best; clear, crisp for all to feel. Consumes your senses, crisp light foot, heavy stomping patterns, sounds to thrill. Clarity. Look to the beyond, see further, further still, further than you ever have seen, look, truly look with all you have, fill your senses, fill your heart, fill your wonder; be with nature, just be. csh 2010

I am asking gallery visitors to contribute to an Engagement Piece of Art Work. People are requested to think of what Peace means to them, they can attach a flower with silent thoughts or make a creative message. A beautiful start. I made a collage representation of a poppy symbolising cycles of life and the flower of remembrance .

Image 1: A new work based on the Life cycle of Family Story. The inspiration was my Grandad Richard Scott who fought in the First World War. Fortunately he survived, What was the daily life cost of the experience of such great conflict? This is my exploration and how family story is passed down with unspoken words. Image 2: Starting point, a poppy seed head depicting the life death life cycle. In amongst the ugliness of worlds happenings, beauty can always seen. To always honour and remember but to let go freely of all attachments. Not easy to put into daily practice. I hope this exploration will give deeper peace and understanding. Lifeseed , Poppy.

Presenting Arts Bomb Rhubarb Bomb & The Art House Collaboration 2010 Installation by: Rob Fisher Composer Musician Singer Carrie Scott-Huby Conceptual Artist An evening of visual arts and sound experimentation. As part of the Wakefield Artwalk, The Art House, Drury Lane, Wakefield. 28th July 2010 Performances from 17:00 til 21:00 Free entry www.the-arthouse.org.uk www.rhubarbbomb.blogspot.com www.carriescott-artist.blogspot.com

'Constellations' is the my new Science & Knitting Series. The idea has evolved from a combination of thoughts on Space, Constellations, Gestalt Theory and that of Family Constellations. Each constellation is produce on groups of ten. The constellations are knitted on three needles, each having ten stitches per needle, the 'magic' of random happens! Each separate sculpture has its very own character. Each depicting initially subconsciously thought. An inspirational word or words pass through my 'free thinking process' the rhythm of this in turn subconsciously effects the pattern of knitting and the subsequent end result. When I am involved in the creative process, I am in a meditative state of being and can be quite surprised at what I have creatively produced. I intend to develop the constellation for a full twelve months. I am very excited! Carrie Scott-Huby www.pinkmooninspires.co.uk

Taking time to look about as I walk my dog ....... to absorb the wonders of nature... to be completey be within beauty.

Alan Davie has his recent art work exhibited at Leeds University Gallery. A must see experience, preferably a few viewings ! I got to love Alan Davie's work whilst working at Wakefield Art Gallery. The great inspiration regarding the recent exhibition is that Alan Davie is in his 93rd year . Carrie Scott-Huby www.pinkmooninspires.co.uk

.... and dance I did indeed! Friday 30th April 2010 I took part in a Dance workshop in the Gallery with the work of Alan Davie, workshop facilitated by Gerry Turvey. To Dance, to move, to choreograph, to connect with other dancers..... to be surrounded by art. I was in heaven! Gerry Turvey's facilitation was inspirational. It was great to Dance with a contemporary of mine from Bretton Hall, Dancer Rachel Green. Thank you to all who took part, can't wait till the next one!

Universal Harmonies was my response to a collaborative art project. I love taking part in collaborative projects. It allows dedicated attention and time to challenge yourself and develop professionally and personally. I was delighted to responded to Sound and Vision. Since being an under-Graduate I have wanted to develop the combining of the different disciplines I studied. I was fortunate to study simultaneously Visual Art/Textiles and Dance. From my early years I have had the great fortune to have such positive influences by way of creativity, science, nature and all practical skills in-between. I naturally view the big picture whilst paying attention to the small detail. Thus all this has the unveiling influence within my work.

Chaos Theory copmosed using re-claimed materials and tradtional techniques. The audience was invited to write a resonsethen add their own label to the installation. Creating their own Chaos! The text I initially attached to the installation as was inspired by The Tao of Pooh anfd Te of Pigglet. As with many others I conect to the corrolation between Eastern Philosophy and Physic Theory.

4 th February, An inspirational day in all. Attended good in-house training on web presence at The Art House, Wakefield. following on from this I attended an Exhibition and Artist Talk at Beam, The Orangery, Wakefield. The Artist was Photographer John Davies. I took from his photos and narration a genuine voice of a generation. Who sees great beauty in the Northern Urban Landscape. I felt a kindred connection being a Northern lass, coming from the Great Urban sprawl which is Greater Manchester. In most part and is still passionate about he uses real film.... I was so inspired to once more to tread the pathways of township to promote the beauty and pride of the once Great National Industries and C raftsmanship of the Working Man's Palaces! ......only if I could buy the batteries for my manual Pentax camera, I have film crying out to be used..... John Davies landscape photography focuses on the states of 'in between'. Carrie Scott-Huby www.pinkmooninspires.co.uk

The above two images are more indulgent and are a personal reflection. Whilst a student at Bretton Hall Campus, University Leeds, I spent time reading & sketching, on a bench in a favourite suntrap by the Camellia House. This is the seat and window to the Camellia House. I loved the natural patterns made by the frost on the window, plus reflection and the little birds prints. The "simple things" in life bring me such beauty & delight . Carrie www.pinkmooninspires.co.uk
