A mark-making exercise to chase away the gremlins of worry and overwhelm. Mixed Media on paper 32 x 23 inches I feel a real shift happening with my work in the studio – dedicated time to work, space to create, making art without worrying about expectations. Whilst I will always have moments of procrastination and staring at the wall – the …
Port Seton Harbour – photographs I took last year. This past week has seen me flitting between paralysis, uncertainty and anxiety about all that is happening in the world.
