'Morning Glories' still arrive
I'm gonna tear your play house down room by room
The summer is over, and projects move on. Exhibitions finish and artworks come and go, but it is not very often that you get to see your artwork torn down by a demolition team. We had hoped to be there when the the extensions to the John O Groats hotel were torn down, but unfortunately the team had to move quickly and took the building down two days early - so we missed it.

I got the ebb I got the flow
Fin has just returned from an inspiring six days in Manhattan. But while he was away we had an interesting turn of events. Last Tuesday, at around lunchtime we received a call inviting us to meet a Japanese professor who was interested in meeting Highland artists. An hour later we found ourselves in Inverness having a very interesting chat with Professor Makoto about the potential for some international collaboration.
It is early days, but the conversation has begun and we at DUFI are very excited about the potential of another collaborative adventure!

Its been a busy last few weeks and we have began in earnest working on the Foundations project in Invergordon. A couple of sessions of DUFI Scrabble (we have still to write the rules...) resulted in us getting a list of some great words to describe a sense of place and was a fun way to introduce ourselves to the people of Invergordon as well as visitors from the Queen Elizabeth (Cunard liner was in dock on Monday). In the next few months we will meet with some of the community groups to begin the consultation stage properly and are looking forward to that - got some interesting sessions planned!
