  1. I like this because first I got stuck on the 'SIN' at the end of the line. Then I got stuck at the "BEFOR" wondering where the 'e' had gone. Even re-reading it, the power of my expectations makes ripples in reading these points. 'Pledge' and 'sincerity' are lesser used words, both quite beautiful. Nice work

  2. Hi Wendy

    Thanks for your kind words.

    The phrase used was taken from a Muslim wedding vow.

  3. Hi Baz, I really do like your work. There's something I can't quite put my finger on that really appeals. Do please keep posting it.

  4. Really lovely Baz, I like the words in the pledge too and it is interesting to know the source. I enlarged it as much as I could on my laptop to see the texture which looks fab from what I can see. Hopefully can see these one day at your exhibition :)

  5. Hi Froggy & Dolly.

    Thanks for looking and also your compliments.

    I like this one the best, I regret now not taking photos of the different stages it took to make it.

    Re: Exhibition. I have been toying with the idea of exhibiting in churches. At the moment it's just a nice thought in my head. I'm not sure how to pay for the logistics of actually moving the images around. I'm looking into arts council funding - but I've never done that before either.. it's all pretty new to me.

  6. Best wishes Baz with sourcing funding and I think the idea of an exhibition in church sounds thrilling. A new gallery has just opened here in Cork, in an old church. The room inside is so beautiful and has so much open space that I think it will be perfect once they finishing developing it. Maybe with more time on your hands now it will be a blessing in disguise as you look into funding sources. I hope so.
