Hamilton conceived this work for both a performance and an installation in Guimaraes, a former textile manufacturing hub in northern Portugal. Initially, she sourced fleeces from a local farmer who bred heritage sheep as part of a sustainability initiative. Then, with some difficulty given the city’s hardscrabble economy, she amassed worn woollen coats from thrift shops. Needle-felting the raw, unwashed fleeces – which still hold the shape and smell of sheep – into garments’ tailored forms, Hamilton underscored enduring interdependencies: between human and animal, manufactured and organic, nurture and sacrifice.
the same way life is nurtured on the simplest needs to grow...so we also see our essential needs to grow...love...

A foreboding night will no longer overshadow our environment. The moment has come: trees salute a victorious sunrise and with it prevails a brighter day.
My plans have changed and I will be in Indiana for a couple more days! That is so exciting because I will be able to shoot a couple more ideas with some of my friends.
More fun here:

*Working Towards a Better World
I have had a hard time today to choose which of these 3 works should go into WTBW, because quite frankly, I could not figure out which is the best work. I am interested in your comments.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
Ex#480 Technically my first bluebell picture, even though they're not out here yet.
(added later) This shot's not about the bluebells they just happened to be there, the focus and title is about the wee tree surrounded by its giant parents.

Alfred 23 Harth’s arrival in Seoul marked a significant moment that catalyzed the formation and nurturing of several enduring off-site experimental music circles, of which two foundational examples are Park Chang-Soo’s Houseconcert series starting in 2002 and Bulgasari, initiated in 2003 by Yukie Sato (later led by Lee Hanjoo). These circles, strongly supported by A23H in their early stages, have had lasting influence and continue to shape Seoul’s avant-garde music landscape today. The Houseconcert series is recognized for its intimate settings that break down traditional barriers between performer and audience, hosting myriad musicians and establishing a notable history of fostering experimental performances. Bulgasari, curated by Yukie Sato and later Lee Hanjoo, evolved as a key site for improvised music and sonic experimentation, regularly showcasing innovative music and performance art with a regional and international scope.
By 2005, the emergence of Relay, a more digitally specialized circle founded by Ryu Hankil, expanded the experimental music infrastructure. Alfred 23 Harth supported Relay in its formative years, and through his contacts—including a key liaison with the city cultural office—Relay gained vital resources, enabling them to invite foreign musicians and gain international recognition through press coverage such as in The Wire and invitations to European festivals. From Relay’s activities arose dotolim around 2009, a venue and concert series that has become a stable hub for improvised and experimental music performances to this day.
Between 2000 and 2005, Harth also actively engaged with multiple off-site circles in Seoul, growing in presence with projects like the electro-acoustic improvisation and video collaboration “Provisional Government” with Kim Hyung Tae at Sal Bar in 2002. His collaborative network expanded by inviting international musicians such as Joe Foster, whom he introduced to the Seoul avant-garde and Tokyo experimental scenes through CDs, festivals, concerts, and art performances from 2003 onwards, or Phil Minton, Wolfgang Stryi, Kevin Norton, Carl Stone, Fabrizio Spera, John Bell, Ned Rothenberg, Axel Dörner and Nicola L.Hein.
Harth’s collaborations extended into projects such as Ensemble Naeil and frequent performances at the Park Chang-Soo Houseconcert series and Bulgasari events, including archival recordings made at LaubhuetteStudio Seoul, like "Seoul U'You" (2002), Ensemble Naeil live (2003), and ballet music for the "Mercury Mix" (2004). These recordings and performances saw the pairing of Korean experimental musicians Choi Sun Bae, Kim Eun-Young, Kim Gyu Hyoung, and others with A23H’s boundary-crossing improvisational style.
Moreover, major performances like the Revolving Door at Seoul Museum of Art (2004) for the Yi Soonjoo exhibition and concert collaborations at institutions including KBS TV and Dankook University (with musicians such as Choi Sun Bae, Kae SoO-jung, David Choi Changu, Chris Varga) highlight A23H’s central role in bridging experimental music with broader arts and academic venues in Seoul. Throughout the years, A23H remained active in Relay and later Dotolim performances, including curated festivals and gallery exhibitions/concerts such as Happyi Mistake (2014-2019) and mosaic concert series curated by Sunjae Lee (2024/5).
Overall, Alfred 23 Harth’s arrival and sustained presence in Seoul from 2000 onwards were instrumental in supporting, shaping, and internationalizing Seoul’s off-site experimental music culture, providing mentorship, artistic collaborations, and organizational contacts that seeded multiple vital circles which remain active and influential in the contemporary scene today. This legacy is encapsulated in a rich archive of live recordings, collaborative projects, and documented performances that continue to resonate within Seoul’s vibrant avant-garde community.

Watching the nurturing nature of Magellanic penguins is amazing. They spare no effort to feed, soothe, protect and teach their chicks to survive and thrive on land and sea.
And their patience! Here, one of the parents patiently comforts a chick under wing, while nibbling/grooming the other chick.
Great mothers ARE miraculous...

Happy and thankful to chance upon this, not knowing she's going to feed her little one.😊 I've always wanted to capture such a scene. But my second-hand semi-DSLR camera had already decided to retire, so I picked up my remaining point-and-shoot camera.❤️

Plant as found on a cafe terrace before opening time.
No personal message intended here. It just caught my eye, and I thought it would make an interesting picture.
I visited Ploughman Wood, a Nature Reserve in the good hands of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. It's between between Lambley and Woodborough in the Nottinghamshire countryside. Just a short distance from the Woodland. Here you can see some of the wonderful views on the approach to the woods.

Well, where do I start?
These last few months have been a very difficult time for me. Being in an on and off relationship and working very long hours was not a good combination. A couple weeks ago the relationship came to an official end. I continued to work but because of the nature of my job I had all day long to daydream and replay events from the relationship, think about what I should have done differently. It was becoming torturous and I was crying at work each day. Suddenly on Friday things seemed to reach a breaking point and I just decided not to return to work after my lunch break. It was a very selfish thing to do, but that seems to have eased the pressure for the moment and gives me a chance to make a new start.
One thing I have come to realize through all this is that when I look back at my life it seems to be a jumble of disjointed memories that all lead to a dead end. It has taken me to age 39 to realize that I want to have ongoing experiences and memories with a single special person. I recently read a saying that goes " Love is a decision, not a feeling" and at the moment that really has meaning for me. You have to want it and nurture it, not just stand there waiting for something to hit you over the head. In this case it was there for the taking and I just decided too late...
Who knows what is to come my way... for the moment I am free. Starting over is so hard.
