How do we discover, create, become ourselves in-the-world?

This has been a profound journey for me. Not about trying to find objects to tell a story, but instead about allowing the materials to speak, to gently open myself up to a place where I listen and am able to animate and give life to materials, and in turn, to emotions, ideas, symbols, and stories.

About being-in-relationship-with.

I have asked -

What draws me? What does each item evoke? How am I in relation with this material? How does this material move, feel, exist?

In this space, of liminality and possibility....dreams, meanings, questions, paths emerge...

Working and learning alongside some amazing individuals, as part of the 15th online Puppet Therapy course with Munecoterapia - thank you for such a profound, beautiful and life-affirming experience 🙏

Self-Portrait Puppet - part of our creative explorations and reflective projects. (And yes, they are goat-horns!)

Spent some time seeing, thinking, writing, chatting at this truly incredible exhibition by at in London today.

Well worth checking out not just for the superb photography and excellent curatorship, but the subject matter, which is essentially about our humanity, and how we choose to express ourselves when something threatens to invalidate or nullify our existence.....
