In the time I have been involved in making Borderline several words have emerged in my thoughts especially in the evening when I am trying to fall asleep. Trying too hard I fear.
These words float up, keep making themselves known to me.
Swedish is my Mother tongue and English my Father tongue.

Northernness

In ten days time this symposium starts and I for one am looking forward to it! I think there will be some very interesting presentations thanks to Ysanne Holt the organiser. Also I think I will get a chance to re-connect with my Scandinavian roots as it were. That will be very good since I do feel cut off from many of the people and places that mean a great deal to me.
I am presenting a film Borderline on the Friday before lunch. This is a film in process. Since I moved to this part of the world, Northumberland, I have been responding to it through my metier. Film. I hope to continue working on Borderline throughout my living here. That is what I mean by process. As I learn more about this environment and more about my relation to it or response the film will grow and evolve and become sometimes more and sometimes less e.g. from one screen to several, an installation to a simple video etc. It will reflect the very place itself in that way.
I hope that if you can make it to Northernness you will say hallo to me!

Wolf-less

This is Wolf on the fells in Tarset. He is so lovely, so beautiful, lean and fit and has the kindest brown eyes. We love him.
We had some gorgeous walks with him. Sadly we had to part. He and the cats did not find harmony together. Au contraire.
