The drawing above is some kind of response to being lost in the woods. There are basically three sections to the ‘neutral zone’ in this wilding experiment, the bottom, the middle and the top. The top is actually the southernmost […]
Firstly, thanks to artist Janine Everitt for the kind permission to use her image ‘Unbound’ which shouted KlangHaus Darkroom to me since I first caught sight of it….it made me gasp. Well, what a journey! We are taking our environmental […]
Review: 26/11/21: There is much from this crit which I have now (often indirectly) addressed – and there is also more which I am yet to address. Display is a big one still – I really want to experiment with […]

Today I put my watercolour on the wall for the first time, along with its botanical label. As you can see, I have placed it on the wall next to my pen and ink drawing of Cleyera orbicularis, in order […]
