The Northcote Koorie Mural

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. T. S. Eliot

This seems a perfect quote for the beginning of this blog. I know I have already started it but the first few posts have been an exploration to locate exactly what I wanted to blog about.

In the middle of the night I woke with a clear idea of the focus of the blog. Sorry to those readers who have been muddling along with me so far. 

I have been circling around the work I am doing in the studio at the moment for probably thirty years. It all began with the Koorie Mural and it seems to have come back to where I started somehow but, as T.S. Elliot said, I know the place for the first time.

I want to share the journey on this blog, partly for myself to map out how the work I am doing developed, and partly to share with others the lessons I have learned along the way.

I am not a writer and probably won't write the novel which this story could be, because the truth of it mostly seems stranger than fiction. So for the people who follow this blog I will endeavour to unfold the circle into a pathway.
