Detail from a collage for my godmother's birthday.
October is the prettiest month.

one evening in Ravenna


























There are magnificent things to see in Ravenna; photographs are pointless in conveying the scale and intricacy in the craft you may find there. I can only share tiny things I saw next to things that sustain open-mouthed staring for several minutes.

Ravenna has grand mosaics in the true sense of grand but at some point I stopped looking. I saw bamboo flapping against the top of a high wall. Of course I found a gap to spy through and was rewarded with a daffodil garden and six white peacocks just before it got too dark to see.

We only just made our train back and then decided to take the next one anyway and spend an hour exploring the joy that is a supermarket in a foreign place.

Visit Ravenna, the city bikes are free and the mosaics are heavy on gold (and old).


(I found sugar-paper confetti on the pavement outside the train station)

Hi, hello cause it's the 29th of Feb and a good day to share the very exciting news that my name is on this list (look for the South Africans)! More on that soon. In the meantime here's a cheeky llama and a tiny collage I made called Tiger Rabbits.


PS Look how beautiful Dan Pearson's work is. Landscape designers (and paediatricians) give me serious career envy. Hearing him talk about his collaborative Tokachi Millennium Forest project at the Design Indaba this morning was extra special. x


paper city



                             
I'm trying out new media. Well, old media in new ways. Unfortunately this little paper city got squashed, but I'm working on a bigger, better one...

tree, TV, pies


I've recently rediscovered my love of making collages from readymade circular label stickers. I spent most of May this year playing around with these for an illustration module and am still discovering tiny sticky wedges all over room, in books, in shoes... 
More to come.
