A UNESCO Wold Heritage festival Inevitably it is necessary to give a historical perspective of this yearly festival that takes place in the city of La Paz, Bolivia. The celebration transforms and stimulates the social life of La Paz every year, emanating from a particular way of understanding and living Andean Catholicism. The Parade begins with a procession through the western part of the city. This procession is central to the event, involving 40,000 devotees who dance and sing in an offering to the patron saint. The dance has a sacred significance for the sixty-nine fraternities involved, which are greeted in the streets in a euphoric atmosphere where the music of 7,000 musicians resonates. It is so owe inspiring that it is rightfully a UNESCO Wold Heritage event (Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity). The image venerated with dance and music is arrived in the city at the founding of the convent of the Mothers of the Sacred Conception on the 8th of December 1664

The flow to time...

On the 26th April, 2017, I was invite with a number of other artists to take part in a project based around Dungeness. "The site is quite extraordinary- driftwood and chunks of metal interrupting the flow of a long shingle beach that turns the corner at a vast nuclear power station. The area is covered with shingle and sea plants and includes Derek Jarman's famous garden" in the words of Tim Cousins who organised this event. This is my take on Dungeness...

As in all my work, it begins one way but then it ends somewhere not too far...

An idea I had for a long time, perhaps a constant in my work: light in darkness...
