Retrospective

Aftermath | Ricky Justin George | Bronze | 1998
in Castries, St Lucia – just around the corner from the most gloriously colourful church, itself a work of art; and from God’s own beauty parlour!

My friend Lori’s enjoyment of The Watcher in my North Berwick post the other day brought to mind what is probably my favourite piece of public art. Visiting Castries in February 2020, my immediate response to the gorgeous Aftermath was that it holds space for a million and one human stories. There’s so much aliveness, excitement, joy and relief here that doesn’t need any more words! You’ll hear the story tell itself from within. And maybe tomorrow another one – because the light shines on different elements at different times and on different days. And I hope you now delight in them, as I do 😘x

North Berwick

Edinburgh Waverley Station

Having Edinburgh’s huge Waverley Railway Station practically on my doorstep here is a real joy. On a whim I hopped onto a quiet ScotRail train this afternoon to a decidedly breezy, but no less beautiful, North Berwick. Half an hour’s run, after which it’s like stepping into an entirely different world. A little later in the year I’ll bring books, beach blanket and picnic lunches here …
