This poem is the second part of ‘The Truthful Song’, first published in 1910 in the children’s book ‘Rewards & Fairies’. The poem brings back feelings of my own youth spent in and around a labyrinth of lean-to boat-sheds, barges, blocks and spars, learning a trade that has changed little since the building of the Ark.
Themes associated with these memories have filtered through my work for many years. This collection of eight images spans a five year period, beginning life as individual paintings and later becoming wood and linocuts. The book provides an opportunity for the images to create their own narrative.
David and I worked together for the last two years of my apprenticeship at Walter Cook and Son. Before this he had been to art school and then had a spell of teaching. He then had a change of course and returned to his early love of boats. He now runs his own yard where I have since worked when needs must. It was David who taught me to appreciate the shape of a well made "Lemon" boat or a well wrought hook. I will always be grateful for his encouragement and guidance in those early years.
