Friday Update: Thirty-one Five Twenty-four...

A well earned break, a series of moments of calm to recharge, to recuperate, to heal even… 

Interspersed with real life, we can’t leave our troubles behind. In life I’ve learnt through painful experience the need to take moments in isolation. Whilst as a young man I sought ‘happiness’ these days I recognise the beauty in just being able to enjoy parts of my life whilst others need to be filed under ‘endured’, ‘duty’ and ‘responsibility’. 

This one photograph sums up my week away - and as my good friend Chris reflected, myself as an artist. 

“… a neat collage of the charge points for creativity that they coexist without borders. All these things are unified through you instead of being filtered by a selfish “I’m only going to query ingredients that are labelled specific to my needs”.

British beer, a book on American trains, a painting made only because this moment lead you to this place. When you say who you are in this work, these are your ingredients.”

Thank you Chris. Thank you all.

Normal service resumes on Monday.
