There are so many things to love about Paris. Wandering, talking to publishers, small printers, artists. It’s afternoons like today that feel like magic.
Such a nice day - people actually huh making things

If I were reality, I would simply be virtual
If I were AI, I would simply be intelligent
If I were housing, I would simply be affordable

The leaves themselves are staggeringly beautiful - representing through colour and shape the patterns and process of decomposition. Something of a metaphor.

Quelques Feuilles / Some Leaves

New thing - this is a part of a much larger work. Each square comprises 4 of the colours of an actual leaf collected over a series of walks, and then photographed, uploaded, compiled and arranged in chronological order. The entire work has 144 leaves and 576 colours.

Taking a “pont +” (bridge +)…

Since 1//1 is a day off, taking both Friday and Monday off.

Time to really rest, relax and enjoy some time away in #bretagne

Monday.

Day 4 of a cold.

Really not a fan of feeling sick, less of a fan of getting other people sick. So I’m working from home today.

A super meal in Paris…

Maybe my favourite was the crevette rolls? Although the duck was stellar. And the cheesecake omg.

More Autumn Trees 😀

Design is based on a photograph and then layers of colour and erasure drawing.

The first picture is c 1200x700 to give you an idea of scale (the second picture is a detail of the first).

Anyone else suffer from headaches and body temperature regulation issues after travelling.

Feeling somewhat less than human today. Although I’m giving it a good effort.

(Also crying that I don’t have ibuprofen at home)

A detail from a current work in progress - it’s a series of photos of water superimposed upon each other, each with a pattern of erasure through which fragments of the picture beneath can be seen (the final / last layer is a mix of red and yellow).

No. I’m not going to No Kings Paris. We have guests coming for dinner and the figues need tatin-ing.
