Steve's page 40 - by Kate

I found this sheet discarded on the corner of Steve's dinning room table, i opened it to see if there was something on it but no - just folds and a corner missing - used for others purposes. It was if a Sol le Witt drawing had appeared by magic. But no, it was life that had happened....? I decided that this funny found sheet should go in as an example of shared collaborative working and co-authored pieces!!!!! and in reference to our conversation about the press on the kate and steve blog.

Day 38 - 26/10/12

Soaked - here in Lincolnshire its the wettest year for over 100 years, very little drilling has been done, no landworking is possible and every farmer is despondent. I suspect we are not the only ones, it seems like everyones awash. The calendar and weather is against us. New rotations are being drawn up, Spring Barley for spring sowing as an alternative is being traded like pearls and everyones wishing for a really cold winter of hard continual frosts so we can get on the land. Drilling methods and drills are under discussion with little avail as still it rains. The melting of the ice sheets are being held responsible and still it seems we make no changes to our way of being.
So Ive put my sheet in soak today and will leave it there until i have to take it out for the show or the weather improves. Here is a photo of it in the sink. I have also turned the heating down.

day 37 - 25th oct

sorry been distracted from blogging so here i start to post to get me up to date. the photo is shocking, but what it says is -

"you understand the soil, its structure - the land when you plough."

day 36 - 24 Oct. Kate

 I emptied my fire today of ash - here is some in the bucket i use alongside my garden trowel, that was my Grannys. I liked for this project that the ash comes from the wood from trees at the farm and this bucket full gets tipped on my garden - potash and all that.
A never ending cycle of chop down and build up.

day 34 and 35 - 22nd and 23rd Oct.

I had some friends to visit and their two sons/artists drew a landscape each. Above is camping in Wales by Oscar aged 5 and below is out the window of my studio by Joe aged 7.

39-30th Marcus

This is from a workshop in the park with Marcus - we are intending toproject an image of it onto the house - it is going to become part of the landscape.

38 -29th-drawing class

This is my picture from the drawing class - I am finding this really hard - again I think I am more interested in doing a drawing than looking but I did try my best and didn't feel like I wanted to subvert anything which is my normal transgressive position.  Ruskin would have admired the effort not the result.
