Over 2016 I have been looking into the whole manufacturing process of Flax rope; from the growing of the seed to twisting into full-lengths. Rope was usually made from lime bast, the inner bark of the Small Leaf Lime tree.
After months of preparation RIBA have announced their shortlisted buildings for the 2016 Stephen Lawrence Award...and The Observatory is one of them! Good luck team.
In October 2016 I am planning my next visit to the Isles of Scilly; an archipelago 28 miles off the South-western point of Cornwall's peninsula.

Please take a look at this forward-looking article about my collaboration with the architects in the observatory and how it could be the seeds for new roots in art.
