🚦 Next stop: Journeys.

Journeys: the movement of people through ages and between places. Life too is a journey — of experiences, ideas, thoughts and emotions. Journeys always lead somewhere, but often, to an unexpected destination.

This #EarthDay2025 seems a good moment to share some Gerard Manley Hopkins:
“What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet”

Today I stewarded our exhibition at Hatch Somerset called 'Thinking Inside the Box.' This is my work 'Constituent Parts' on the theme of the fragmentation of a woman's identity throughout the process of becoming a mother (Matrescence). She or they become functional - feeding, clothing, washing.
