We throw everything away, and find plenty from the bin.

Its hard because we are all having so many ideas

They’ll be threads but I don’t know  

how we will find them together

I felt very self conscious at first and tentatively cut the red strips to make cow and dog entrances only, as that was all that felt needed in the space, the cow exits as hide, the dog as dog, the dog who works in the Tannery cleaning the hides and his or her faeces are  used to soften the hide.

Doorways, washing lines, animals  – red doorways, what does this mean?

Coloured washing lines echo the leather hanging in the tanneries, Dave’s “washing” on the clothes hangers, Roger’s coloured tape, Mike’s yellow and Jake’s record covers.

Coloured leather as paper, the random odd shapes of the cut shapes that make leather articles and the left over pieces. Mari’s bag pattern.

Clothes pegs are important as I contemporise parts of the Tannery (a men’s workplace) process to produce a colourful washing line (traditionally a woman’s domain) to brighten up the grey space.

I like the way the “washing” has moved in time and settled.

To begin with I was interested in all our journeys to Machynlleth, having been the 15^th century capital of Wales, hosting y Gŵyl Haf  Merched y Wawr, George Monbiot and the Centre for Alternative Technology; a fairly central location in Wales, on the railway. Yet not an easy place to get to, a holiday location with a good distance to travel and much time spent to get there from most of Wales.
