Panda , I received from father Christmas at my dad's works Christmas Party. What joy!  He's awe bare in places & recently had to re-attach his nose, plus make him a dashing re-claimed wool collar, also to keep his neck from wobbling!  But he's just as loved. He is languishing on my families welsh blanket heir loom.

  Studio:   new artist books & book art   for BELONG Installation at Westgate Chapel for Wakefield Artwalk on Wednesday 27th July 2016.   The book art is inspired by the 'Words Are Not Enough' collaboration I took part in earlier in the year. The audience were invited to take a boo/s away with them.

Being given little information about him. All I understood was that that he fought in the First World War, which as a small child seemed such a long time ago.  His face in the photograph has carried with me through my life.  My grandfather died when I was a few months old. Being mustard gassed in WW1 contributed to his death.       Somme 100 My Grandfather was a TA.
