UPDATE! If I have you on other social medyah, by all means scroll by ^_^
But my #Prog band EBB, (I'm synth + backing vox), just won the HRH Prog (think UK Prog version of Grammy's?) Award for Best New Band! We're proud as all get out and SO inspired for the future!

Absolutely this, I have incredibly vivid reading imagery - and music, the scapes and narratives in my mind vs the official music videos is sometimes utterly incompatible! Illustrations, especially of the characters, would just get in the way..

I went to the Andy Goldsworthy Fifty Years Retrospective today. It blew my mind. Incredibly inspiring, raw and beautiful. Like somehow having walked into an embodiment of Ted Hughes' poetry. His work evokes the same kind of mad god dreaming, earth's dark mind, shamanic song in the soul.

Went to the Andy Goldsworthy retrospective & it feels full of ancient magic. Ended up having a long conversation with someone about the books of Rosemary Sutcliff which are imbued with the same deep sense of the past…

Suna Dasi @sunadasi.bsky.social · 13d

Went today, absolutely stunning retrospective.

Suna Dasi @sunadasi.bsky.social · 13d

Ohmgds, Madbh and I just went a few hours ago!!! 😄 I waited and took two either end with no people. Nowhere near as poignant as yours..
The whole exhibition was stunning and inspiring. Loved it so much.
