Nick is creating art again. I am pleased. It has been a while since he has found inspiration. The painting thing had long since passed, leaving only me to wield the paintbrush. But, as I say, Nick is creating again.

This time the flat is full of pallets, not paint palettes but big dirty wooden ones. There is much banging and crashing, sawing and drilling.

He is producing boxes, crates. Large sculptures with interestingly placed holes, locks and hinges. It is a good thing to observe as to watch him make something attractive, functional and interesting from a bunch of dirty old bits of discarded wooden junk is really rather cool.

Below is an unfinished example... (47" x 30" x 26")

It now has locks, hinges and small holes and is sitting in front of our fireplace until the next exhibition in March. More seem to be appearing as the days go by.
