Easter is over and back to uni for a final count down before the end of term, another assessment is imminent so to look back over what I have done and how I am getting to an end point, I am really pleased with the horse head so far and hope to tweak it a little more this week a final coat of paint to make it look more carousel like and put it on a wooden mount. I have also decided that the thing I really don't like about carousel horse is the eyes, they are manic! I may do some work with these, I spy with my little eye.....
We had a quick trip to Barmouth yesterday but could not take photos at the fair as it was closed.......

Off to the fairground.
Off to the fairground tonight for more filming, Im still not liking all of the work I have done some is coming together better than other, but I do expect that, tonight I want images of fairground rides all lit up and the sound of people and machinary, the carousels and walzters and the smell of cheap burgers and candy floss. Im not going on the rides just to observe and to observe the people who go and run these fairs.
On my Mothers side of the family there is a branch of Showmen, Bobby Kemp and his sons ran rides at the fairgrounds and my daughter has looked in to the family tree quite alot and they really did move around alot, I wonder if this is where I got my ichy feet from in my younger days, my settalling wasnt through choice but necessity, having children grounded me, it would nt of grounded the travelllers whos lifestyle relied on them moving, but I knew I wanted my children to go through school and be more educated than I was, and I do feel this has been achieved. But now Im getting ready to move on again, but more of that another day. Tonight is going to the fair night, I will be unsetalled and probably needing a large brandy by the end of it, but I do think its the best thing to progress my work at the moment.

One of the edits.
pretty lights
Part of making these films has been about how I am effected by lights and sounds, I feel quite travel sick after the abuse of an arcade, the flashing lights and disorientating sounds make me giddy and nauseous, I hope to recreate this in my filming.
