‘The Boss’ is asleep so all is calm, all is quiet! Oh to sleep like a cat!

Yay! Just found a box full of paper images taken on photography courses - years ago! I’m loving some of them so may resurrect them in new form!

A heartfelt thank you to all those who connected with Larry during the #RASummer @theroyalacdemyofarts - you made it an extra special experience. Larry is currently bathing in the afterglow!

Larry took a trip to @royalacademyarts yesterday and looked at himself from a whole new perspective!

Love, love, love ‘Messenger’ by Cathie Pilkington RA and Kind of Blue by Allen Jones RA in the Lecture Room @royalacademyarts Summer Exhibition

Ruminating for 8 years! I still have a few pieces left from my Ruminate series created from bread and flour in 2011 and guess what? The flour and bread are in tact and as good as new! I was hoping that would be the case because of the processes I used but as I didn’t use any preservatives - it is also a tiny bit scary?!?! Ruminate is an exploration of our relationship with the ‘thoughts’ we ‘ingest’ (consciously or sub-consciously) on a daily basis.

Rediscovered this ammonite image in my folder 'create some work inspired by this ' ! Always been fascinated by the Fibonacci sequence. If my understanding is correct, it goes : 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 to infinity and beyond! With each number being the sum of the previous two. And the ratio between the numbers (1.618034) is sometimes called the golden ratio. They say that the human eye will subconsciously appreciate that ratio in a balanced composition. I'm more interested in the the question around did we invent maths to explain nature or is nature pure maths!?

Ah, found this image of my film interview with Andy! With my ongoing theme of finding simplicity from complexity, I expect I was asking him his thoughts and wisdom (he has been around for 3 generations) on what he feels makes up the bear necessities of life!

I heard it was every 7 years - either way it does make you think! https://t.co/8k4Aexpbce
