A few bits from recent days

Trying to work a bit more intentionally, with room for surrender is a bit of a juxtaposition, but it feels like a direction

Feels like a ‘let’s get going’ time of year. I guess only time will tell.

I saw some big paintings, so I want to make big paintings
—
I’m making a plan. Trying to make a plan. Trying to work out the foundations, support and challenge I might need to finally do what I’ve felt the need to do. Paint big.

Why big?! I dunno. Physicality, I think. Maybe hormonal imbalance?! Ego?! - but bit by bit I’m daring myself to do mad things and some of them come off ok, so NEXT!

Accept I self-soothe with performance arts. Yesterday I got out of the shed and over to the shop, and I sort of thought it was just a shed thing, but it’s not. I struggled all day with company and then left alone, my eyes could only see if I switch my inner radio on. FML

It’s probably the only child in me, but if I’m going to make this happen I might need a bunker.

🤷🏼‍♀️

Day at today making sweet nothings and then giving myself the treat of play

Found a pot of scrap ink in the bin at Something Good last night, left from a fab monoprinting workshop

I made 10 curious prints as I played with the process and the bin ink.. and yup - the first was the best and things got tighter and more narrative based as things went on.. but very hungry to develop some sketches and work this way a bit more

Only problem is, I need to do nice fresh monoprints to make more good bin ink 🤣

What a chore 🤣😅😎

I think it made the sun come out?!

Happy birthday to me :)

I guess this is truly middle age and somehow, all that came before feels like it was just preparation for how we go forward now.

There is new freedom ahead and wild risks to be taken. For once, there isn’t a lot that feels like it needs changing.

And yes, I long for more intimate company and support and less carrying of all the things. I want to paint more and the paintings to be less awful, but I’m making time and space and everything will come in time.

I trust that what is coming will be nothing less than remarkable.

I am full of gratitude for this wild and stupid year - and for all the work put in, and all the things tried - that may make this next half a whole lot easier to live through.

Much sorry and big thanks to business partner Jess who’s been a massive part of the year and as such this horrific montage.

All the love and quite delusional levels of hope for 35 x

Another misprinted riso revived with some cyano this afternoon, with a few additional illustrational details than usual. ‘Surrounded’.

This week can be a tough one for those of us who don’t have a person. However happy or content you are in the day to day, it’s hard not to feel isolated and lonely amongst celebrations of love. It’s only human.

As someone who’s been on the shelf close to a decade, I find this week hard. I am a celebrant, love to make occasion, do believe deeply in living lightly in delusion and do hope so much that there will be someone with whom it’s safe to be outrageously romantic at during a future year of this long life. But with all honesty, this one will be brushed through with lightly gritted teeth and all effort to funnel the love i am abundant in where it is willing received - teaching reduction printing at the shop, sharing something I love to do.

It is just one week, but this print here, it’s made to balance out the hypocrisy I sometimes feel in sharing my optimistic feelings of love with Sweet Nothings. A light reality check and slap around the face.

Regardless of situation, none of us are never not surrounded by love, even if it might not feel like the love we’re after. For those others who feel unseen, unsupported or misunderstood, or are tired of keeping themselves upright and fed and with healthy boundaries in check… the universe has our backs and that big old sun shines warmly over all.

Dear stranger may be of a similar ilk this month, I imagine.

How dare you forget all the love you are surrounded by..

I love you x

Kingdom

To my shame, I only really did two paintings last year, and this first one here was one of them.

It was something to wrap up a series I called Kingdom, which helped me work through the existential process of rewilding. A narrative I developed to document the building of the more connected, loving self I needed to become in order to fully commit to what I feel I should be doing with my life. A shedding of the disconnection and over-intellectualisation needed to maintain the life I was told I should build and a choice to follow intuition in all faith. ‘My kingdom for a horse!’

It’s wildly indulgent to share such awful paintings, but they feel pretty apt, what with the Year of the Horse incoming, and me stepping away from tech work to do more painting tomorrow. A way of eking the shadowy horror-show that is my painting practice into this somewhat curated fluorescent print-scape.

There’ll be more than two paintings this year, and I am so glad for that. Though I have no doubt they’ll be just as narcissistic… and mostly kept out of this space.

But f**k it — I’m celebrating!

On to new life!

I love you x

And this is just one day, with a lifetime ahead.

Happy new year!

Have been experimenting with some new ways over Christmas. Woodcut hand printed onto shoji. It feels like to might be too bigger departure from the usual.. but I kind of like it. Maybe I’m actually ready for people to be able to read these things?!

Development in progress - with a whole lifetime ahead

Wishing plenty of small pleasures and pauses under sun filled skies to you and yours

About 2025

The try-hard keeps trying, the writer keeps writing and prints keep printing. It’s been a wild sunny year where seasons of mad efforts and blinkered resilience feel like they’ve begun to pay off.

It doesn’t all work, and is often an impulsive and blinkered affair, but for the sum outcomes of it all, the work is getting better, shared with more people than ever and continues to bring joy in the process.

Grateful for all those that take interest, support, affirm and provide guidance.

I love you x

Plenty more Sweet Nothings still to come..
