And Crosses
The chestnut “cross” on the wooden post at the front of the picture is an object I made and used in the performance, In The Hunting Dogs With Dear And The Heart Of Charles; a work “about” the murder of Jodi Jones. I was on my way south to spend the weekend with my future wife and step-daughter when the news of Jones’ death came over the radio—as I drove through Dalkieth itself.
The bird table at the back of the picture was made by an elderly gentleman who attends “my mothers church”: two poems, The Rosenberg And Bird Table and Sunset will be published in Issue 6 of the print-based poetry journal, ANON — launched on 9th July at the Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh. (see link on the ‘blogroll’ if you would like to read more about the journal itself and/or purchase it).
Catriona’s are between the cross and the sun going down.
