	Thank you to all of you who attended the Private View of Solar – Walking at the Speed of Light on Tuesday 14th March. It was a great success with excellent feedback on individual works and the show as a whole.
The Walking Arts Research Group has given me the opportunity to develop my practice and to establish links with fellow practitioners at SHU opening-up cross-disciplinary dialogue.
	The Solar project has allowed me to extend my practice in a way that I would not have conceived, challenging my working methodology including working in the studio.
Dissemblance and figuration as conceptual and aesthetic strategies have driven my practice and my response to ‘Venus’ worked within this framework.
	Venus has the slowest rotation of all the planets rending beauty still. Dissolution of form represents the loss, (that pulls like a gravitational force), central in the desire for beauty and permanence.
