First out … no insects yet 🤔

21 February, first day that feels like spring is finally on the way

He the man!

Satisfying to drop artwork off at the framer. This is the second time I’ve made this piece so it has the learning from making the first, hopefully this one is more robust.

Childhood Memory Box created at a workshop held by @wildtwin.bsky.social and @mikebadger.bsky.social at the Sacred Memory Bank exhibition. Preparing for it forced me to go through a couple of ‘can’t deal’ boxes. I can be creative with some of the ‘Museum of Pam’ items that I’ve inherited.

Do you work with me? You probably helped to cause this …

The Sacred Memory Bank ready to be packed up and shipped to Kirkby Gallery. The exhibition opens on 19th January and it’s VERY exciting! Come along. x

Rediscovered the upside of in-person meetings, enjoyed a train journey (off-peak) with pleasant views instead of sitting hunched over a laptop for hours on end until my eyes can’t bear anymore ..

Christmas hell….in a box!

And let's not forget AI is becoming a major driver of climate change, which is going to kill off all the cute little animals anyway (ugly ones too). Do not use it. Avoid it.

On a day when a college friend was cremated and I had to circulate an email about a colleague who has sadly passed away, I see this, as if I need another reminder.

Oh wow! Can’t wait to see this exhibition.

@lucyantal.bsky.social i don’t live in a food desert but a quality food retailer desert! However, The ASDA came up trumps (despite glacé cherries, cocktail cherries, Cauldron veg sausages all being out of stock & not being able to find the butter!)

Here's your reminder to look out for hedgehogs this Bonfire Night. Stacks of logs and leaves look real inviting to hedgehogs searching for places to hibernate. Remember to check your bonfires before lighting them!

Now you’re talking!
