You can't win 'em all, but these musicians were absolute winners.

These three sketches (blue uniball pen on smooth cartridge paper) were the only ones I might save, but I'll be back to the Pianodrome soon.

Congratulations to the MacKenzie Ewins Wright Trio for giving a fantastic gig.

And then Collective Eggspectation arrived all in a rush a few weeks later. Both are pictures about friendship, community, the shared work of holding each other up.
The last prints of these flew the nest back in September, but the originals are framed and ready to take flight.

SURFACE is the only one of the three dive from a reference. It's my feet sticking out of a bath, directly influenced by the Frieda Khalo painting "What the water gave me".

MISFIT is a drawing of a real memory, of being twelve years old, in gym class, looking down at my knees and suddenly being hyper aware of how much larger than other girls my age I was.

The one time I've ever eaten langestines was at a neuroscience dinner many moons ago. By pure happenstance, I ended up sat opposite the renowned neuroscientist Michael Brecht, and we ate too many langestines and chatted about neural circuits in developing cortical columns.

On the surface, the painting is a simple (if enormous) still-life, but the deeper feeling about it is a question about what we think is important, and why. I wanted to make these seashells, twigs and bird bones huge to show that they had more value to me than diamonds.

Blue and orange are complimentary colours that I love and return to time and time again. This painting is all about the objects that I collect, the things I find joy in, and how the assignment of value to different objects is arbitrary.

There are prints of this available alongside the original, and I would love to write more about it, but right now I'm so exhausted from having my studio open all weekend that I'm gonna put my phone down as soon as this is posted and fall asleep on the sofa.
