Final day of ‘Ogham’ residency.
Painted me wee heart out, finishing two larger pieces and having some fun with the smaller study of Stephanie Tanney’s casts.
Wet walk home.

A slight onset of melancholia creeping up now that the residency is over. But, the show is still to come!

Louise Bourgeois - “A spider creates from it’s own body.”
Pregnant with atmosphere, enigma.

Imogen Rhonda Kielt, born in the early hours of Mother’s Day. 7lbs 6oz. Perfect and everyone well.
Can see so many loved ones’ faces in this tiny new one. It’s just incredible.

Belfast Bound. Helped add some chalk to Joy’s Entry for Rachel Macmanus’ superb performance. So good to see the show in the flesh blown and all involved in the project at Catalyst Arts.
It’s been a great experience at a time I will never forget.
