Jacques le Roux

Passeurs de Memoire, a homage to Jacques le Roux, a very inventive and influential European calligrapher, an exhibition at Musee Chinitreuil in Pont de Vaux was a pleasant holiday surprise.

It features work by many calligraphers including Marion Andrews,Julien Chazal and Claude Medavilla.
A beautiful exhibitionm of contemporary calligraphy.

Update 11 October.
It seems such a long time since the warm days of summer and my trip round the Museum to see this exhibition. I am sadly no closer to understanding more about Jacques le Roux, but circumstances today require that I make more of a effort. 
The circumstances - talking to students at Swansea Metropolitan University about blogging. The consequence - make more of an effort.

No time

My text seems to be lost.
That's it I shall get a keyboard or revert to images only from the iPod. Small screen typing is not easy for an adult and it's really frustrating when the text vanishes between screens. It makes no sense to use a small device for speed only to edit again.

Last Year's Certificates

It's about this time of year that I think about the next batch of certificates that I usually write out for Swansea Metropolitan University. This year I have published the four from last year. It is an area of work that is absorbing, hardly exciting, but fruitful. Also in preparation is a piece to be submitted for exhibition next year. This is taking time, probably too much time, as sometimes I feel I should work with more abandon. More testing at the weekend I think.
