'I especially love The Sea series ... they are all amazing & they have a quality about them of transcending the earthly & reaching out into the unknown...'  K.K.

'I didn't know you were so prolific! These look terrific. Even just from photographs, I really like a lot of them.

Well done on getting shortlisted - thoroughly deserved, I'd have thought. ... I hope to come and see it.' T.R.

'The website also looking very good. Whose idea was ropo sculpture? - very clever.' K.M.

'What a beautiful website. The pieces look so good, lovely titles and photography as well.
Well done for getting into this show,well deserved.' S.H.

'The web site is clean and wonderful and looking at the Inner Room I am not surprised it has done well and maybe such a busy show will not be the best place for something so contemplative. In an ecclesiastical setting (like a lot of what you do) it would be inspiring.' J.V.

'Can I share this with my youngsters? What an education! The content, spirit and energy of this message is so powerful ... or is Powellful? It engergises even (?!) me. You have to tell me more of this episode.' T.E.

'I like your Concentration Brings Expansion.' M.B.

'... and thought I'd look at your website on the way as it were, very lovely and educational, I learnt something from your underlying philosophy, only wish I could apply it more evenly than I do .' R.B.


'I do think the kind of approach you have found, this exploration, is very valid. ... I think there is a relevance in reclaiming substantial and expressive past langauge and making it available. ...Especially now when lack of awareness has wrecked so much, there's a need for new art which can carry new thoughts, new substance and stability, especially one that can restore sound values. Finding out precisely the kind of values that need to be asserted is part of the work.' D.H.
