Work created at Sturminster Newton water Mill Residency early this summer.My work has developed a strong interest in Thomas Hardy's writings. The conversations with the mil keeper and the visitors to the mill have inspired my work related to Hardys writing on the return of the native which he wrote when his residence was across the road from the mill.
