I’m excited to share info on three art & ecology workshops I’m running this year with Found Outdoors (Wiltshire, UK).

Each day will focus on a different aspect of the land to record and share the plant/animal life found living there.

Visited my local(ish) beavers today in Wiltshire and admired their carving skills

I did a spot of #RoadCombing today (3 pics below), so thought I’d share this post I wrote a little while back about the place of collecting and #neurodivergence in my work:

Got out with the dog today to blast lurgies with some sunshine & notice signs of Spring

Green shoots pushing up thru dead leaves remind me of pockets of resistance against our govts’ (UK & US) backwards ways

Going to look out for green shoots & revel in my woke-ness this Feb

I usually post abt my work as an artist, but I’m so fearful for the safety of trans/lgbtqai+ ppl in Tr*mp’s America & beyond

Queer & multiracial families just like mine

And UK Labour govt too afraid of offending US allies & oil/tech billionaires to speak out

Amongst all the fear of the rise of the far right, and the silence and complicity of people who should know better (and attempting to educate myself on the situation in Congo and Sudan) this beautiful object arrived in the post from Shetland… a Shag / Skarf skull… thank you Sally 🙏🏼
