Catching Colours
A while ago I sent a fan mail to Edward at It’s Not Funny saying how impressed I was at the way he was approaching Parkinson’s advocacy. Little did I think we would wind up with a collaboration like this one. I am thrilled to have been involved in this and I hope we can together open…

And for my encore…
So, it’s been a week since my episodes of Channel 4’s Drawers Off were aired. Overall, it was lovely to see the final edits, I was heartened to see that my work was comparable to the other (excellent) artists and that 3rd parties unknown to me (ie not my partner or my friends) liked and…

I am finally removing the glue from my synapses by studying for this MA. It’s a great feeling. I…

Sanctuary

Chac!
Now, you know I am a recent addition to the student population. I am a few weeks into my MA course and this is what I’ve learnt thus far… my brain is still there, who knew? Occasionally it works too… Witness, a panel discussion this evening where, although I admit my long word radar was…
