Yes, permission from 'Accrington Council'.

Odd, that.

Since there hasn't been an Accrington Council since 1974.

Know what you mean.

In our house Ossy Town Hall will always be just that.

It's never the Civic Theatre, or Civic Arts Centre.

Re: Making sculptures to go on the Coppice

Yep, I only recognize Accrington council and Ossy town hall

I've heard Hynburn thrown about a bit, but not much. Is that a good thing that I don't hear it??

Cheers garinda

Being a nosey git, I read a blog you were writing last year.

I thought it was good, and I feel I understand more what you're doing now.

You should start blogging again, about what you're doing at the moment.

Re: Making sculptures to go on the Coppice

Really? which blog is that? I remember setting up a blog but I thought I stopped using it before I started this project :S

Excellent if I did't stop using it as soon as i thought I did

I think I will take it up again as blogging/internet networking seems to be working well

When you'd been to Berlin, and saw a viewing box.

Plus there was a photograph of you dressed as a pirate.

Re: Making sculptures to go on the Coppice

Wow. I completely forgot about that! I will probably start using that again now Hopefully going to make weekly posts about my work on it.

I'll still be on here though, I'd still like to shape my work around what you all think best. This week I'm going to be ringing new contacts to ask about health and safety and help with installation etc so I will let you all know whats what with that.

Was thinking of referring to my work as Accrington people sculptures now instead of Coppice sculptures. What you think? Cos I'm starting to think of other places like the bottom of the park aswell as the top of the Coppice for easy access.

Can't get into the studios over Christmas now so I'll be working on contacts/permissions etc till mid Jan.

The Turner prize is more about Kudos/Status etc in my view, not much to do wi art.in other words i think its a bag of crap.
