I need some help from a proficient Cornish language speaker please! I paint landscapes & when my work is based on my homeland I always use the Cornish language as titles. The trouble is I don't speak it. Literal translations from English don't always work poetically so a little conversation 1/2

This is excellent

And not just because it contains a boob shark.

I was listening on the fly so didn't really have chance to reflect, but I think you may be right...there can't possibly be a happy resolution on a Monday evening! 🤓

Also, even as an aged old crone, I've had some really uncomfortable journeys with app-based drivers where I've felt so unsafe I shared my location with my (adult) offspring just in case.

Not to say some cabbies don't live up to the opinionated stereotype.

Jenny TP @jennytpgrows.bsky.social · 1d

I've had many more lovely conversations with black cab drivers than horrible ones. Also, I've been rescued twice by London cabbies who spotted I was in a dangerous situation before I did.

Brief clip of a (very) short film I've done based on the @dartmoorcollective.org Flow brief and which I'll be showing at next week's zine launch.

Bit of an experiment this - mixing up video footage taken on the moor over a 2 year period with a layered synth sequence and ambient drone.
