Little voices Sometimes there is a natural lull in one’s art work. Caught between a mixture of wanting to try new things completely, to wanting to use my tried and tested methods to communicate current concerns. Ideally I should both. […]
My usual camera has given up working completely after a lot of good use. My photography has been via photographers for events and in getting my finished work photographed or on my camera phone, which is ok, but I’m really […]
