‘Make hay while the sun
shines’ carries great resonance
on days like today.

289. Stokes Croft, number 57
This, I think is probably the most difficult collaboration in Bristol to photograph. The work, dated 2009 is by 3Dom and Voyder and sits high above a local massage parlour. Charged with symbolism the piece depicts a figurine being held gently in large cupped hands, or even emanating from those hands. The earth and sun both contribute to the symbolism.
All around the piece is some ornate decoration that sets it off really nicely.
It is such a bugger to photograph though. In the summer there is a tree that makes the view pretty much impossible, and in the winter, the same tree is an obstacle. To avoid the tree, you have to advance closer to the base of the piece and then the angles are all a bit peculiar. This was the best I could do last Winter.
It is a lasting collaboration and has been left entirely alone.

A wedding present

The walk
On cobbled stones and
across the New Cut; the sun-
drenched streets of Bristol.

Warm
The long grey Winter
at last yields and tender warmth
fills my heart with joy.
Evening sun
The evening sun
on its low trajectory
projects wall patterns.

The unforgiving
cruelty of Winter breaks
hearts with false promise.

Bright
Blind from the sun’s kiss,
a sweet inconvenience
of Winter’s orbit.

Summer’s lease…
How long must we wait
to revel in warmth again
and bathe in sunlight?
