A diary and archive. Paintings by Sarah Riseborough unless stated. St Abb's National Reserve. View from my office. Tuesday, 15 June 2010. Because I've been working with Seahouses Development Trust on Seahouses Festival, I took the opportunity to do a bit of research on the theme of 'migration', this year's festival theme:. These tokens bore the images of saints, were copied, and recopied, the original portrait being subverted to the power of the iconic image and its underlying message of faith. NEW YORK ...

A diary and archive. Paintings by Sarah Riseborough unless stated. St Abb's National Reserve. View from my office. Monday, 26 September 2011. The Reserve is home to flora and fauna specific to its rough and uncultivated grasslands and coastal location. The site is not wilderness and left to its own devices would go back to woodland. It is carefully managed to preserve an environment which is both critical to certain species' survival and no longer common in the UK. Labels: St Abbs Head National Reserve.

A diary and archive. Paintings by Sarah Riseborough unless stated. St Abb's National Reserve. View from my office. Tuesday, 15 March 2011. Not my strong point, historically, but, according to a wise person I met today, decisions should be easy. This is news and gladly met. resistance to this information should be listened to, then reconsidered. What have I met that tells me this will cost me dear? Someone must have whispered it in my ear when I was young, surely? Which is all very nice but quite tiring.

A diary and archive. Paintings by Sarah Riseborough unless stated. St Abb's National Reserve. View from my office. Wednesday, 19 October 2011. I had entertained a piece of work communicating the thoughts and feelings of visitors and workers. How does one go about interacting with visitors who are clearly there to avoid this kind of contact?

Or listening, watching and waiting to see if anything is asked of me. I draw at motifs and effects, come across sensation and the familiar in the same way memory works for me; by process and also spontaneously. The images reach a point of 'finished' and become part of an archive. The memory is living; the archive static order. 22 February 2011 at 15:11. Love the ne...
