Great loves: In all its messy sometimes tragic, obsessive and unhealthy guises.
I allow one piece of text or film to lead me to another: this slightly laborious serendipitous method has its frustrations but somewhere between Romeo & Juliet and Robert Fords fascination with Jesse James (as depicted in the film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford ) are all the great love stories and even greater escapism. From tiny Hidden islands to great loves.....
So after going around the houses a little bit via Merry land, Love stories will probably take up the rest of my time on the residency. Hooray!
(I still like MerryLand though)
In the mean time I am making some more cut outs, naming tiny Islands to escape to and starting a new painting project which will work its way into The Collector Zine: Issue 3.

Alice's Island, pencil on paper, 2x5cm
Alice's Island: I asked the kind people of twitter if anyone would like their very own Island. It would be named after them, then scanned and emailed to its new owner.

All is well with me and the kitty-cat, I am having a devil of a time stabilising her on her new insulin but we are keeping each other company rather nicely. The new Florence & The Machine album Ceremonials is out. I am a fan. Its on a loop. The kitty-Cat doesnt mind.
