And then one fine morning..

So a lot has happened since I put my metaphorical pen down sometime around October last year. A lot of good things. I call it my cleanse and reawakening.
 (In the least self involved way possible but admittedly, it's hard not to sound like an absolute monster douche saying that..!)

Now, if you wander down to the Market Square in Cambridge on a Thursday or Sunday you can find some of my creations on the rails of the slightly eccentric and very beautiful Serpentine Swap stalls. Just follow the music... Mending is what I do most there though. Vintage clothes with holes or missing buttons. It reminds me of the old days.
Sometimes I join her in pop ups, like the one at Relevant Records, it feels like this new exciting world I'm suddenly finding a door to. The people, the music, the psychedelic patterns... It makes me want to be a part of creating a new world. A world where the over the top is the norm.

But in this new world exists something of the old world as well. The new series of Victorian photographs is slowly taking shape, more vivid and authentically alive than ever! This time, with the help of my young new photographer, I am aiming higher than my own roof, I am trying for them to reach outside my world into the world of the others, maybe even into the world of other artists...
For a while it got swept away, picked up and enlarged into a project more commercial than I ever wanted to be and I recoiled in horror..putting the lid on..I want to keep it as close, as full of meaning, as it was meant to be. I have all the time in the world to sell out and step into the light. Maybe one day. But this is about the way as much as it is about the result. It's about us, about the human existence and the unchanging times. About the darkness. About the softness of our souls.. And as always, about the people who let me under their skin..

the stories so far

My next important work though, hopefully, will be my collaboration with the story tellers of Epic Tales. I'm quite excited about this one! It involves a little more planning, a little stepping outside of my comfort zone and a lot more maths than I'm used to but I have a plan... I wont elaborate too much until I know more, I am and always will be mysterious like that, but there will be some hooded creatures walking out of my sewing room later on...

To be continued.
