Went to see Leeds Playhouse's production of To Kill A Mockingbird this evening. Astonishingly pertinent.

Cover of the programme for Leeds Playhouse's production of Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. An sepia imagine of an empty courtroom with the words 'Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird, A new play by Aaron Sorkin, Directed by Bartlett Sher' in capital letters over the top.

It's really heartening that so many members of the public donated to save this work. Can't wait for it to be on display soon for everyone to enjoy!

Being from Cumbria, most locals have wee cars that are far more practical for the narrow roads. SUVs make it so much harder, particularly those on holiday who aren't used to the narrow roads, and don't tuck in. Older versions of Fiat Panda 4x4 are very popular in Cumbria as a smaller 4 wheel drive.

Nicely done

I’ve had to chop this up slightly to compensate for Bluesky’s limitations, but this has been on my mind a lot lately and I thought it needed sharing again

A beautiful crisp day in the Yorkshire Dales. Magical icy falls, beautiful snowy fells and a gorgeous sunset over a frozen tarn. Now to warm up in front of the fire in the pub with some good food and beer!

A sunset against white snowy hills with a frozen tarn in the foreground glistening in the evening light.

A valley of white snowy hills and blue skies, with dry stone walls crisscrossing the fields and a silhouetted tree on the left.

White snowy fells with bright blue skies. In the background Ribblehead Viaduct sits against the white of a snowy Whernside

A waterfall coming down through a gorge with the sun hitting the rocks behind it. The waterfall has started to freeze, with the pond in front of it frozen solid and dramatic icy rocks that the waterfall is dropping into.

A magical start to the New Year up in Fife seeing the aurora borealis. Happy New Year!

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.

The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.

Fiat lux!

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

Had a great time at Castleford Academy this week testing out our outreach sculpture workshop inspired by Barbara Hepworth. Lots of experimentation and collaboration from the students to explore the process of 2D-3D and create sculptural work.

Two students in uniform say at a table balancing different natural objects including sticks, stones and cones

Three students working together at a table to get sticks to balance

Two students sat at a table with paper shapes cut out. They are threading bamboo sticks through their shapes

Two students one sat down and one stood up working together with paper shapes and bamboo sticks to turn it into a 3D artwork

Dreaming of the warmth of last weeks sun in the Yorkshire Dales. I need to remember to keep getting out and enjoying it despite the cold setting in!

Sheep stood in front of a large autumn coloured tree with blue skies

Some surreal projections at The Hepworth Wakefield this evening for Light Up. I'm sure David Chipperfield's intention was to design the perfect building for projection!
