This piece falls within the “chat and sketch” class. It’s created at dwelling, comparatively slowly. I discover this meditative to do: there’s no time strain, I can maintain layering, make small marks and shift issues imperceptibly over time.

This was performed whereas chatting with Liz Metal and evaluating our very totally different makes use of of very related combined media. It all the time helps me to make use of pictures I took myself, since there’s a private connection and an precise expertise of place hooked up to them.
