The best drying place is the floor. Always start at the furthest point from the door if you don’t want an inky footprint trail. #toptips 😉 ———————- #paintedpapers #dyedpapers #inkdyedpapers #allthecolors #creativeprocess

#morningpractice : I’m developing a rhythm with this book, that first thing I take a few minutes to play here. Once my time is up I’m off to begin my morning and there’s no going back to the page. I’m doing this to actively overrule the voice that wants me to keep adding more and more. It was difficult to begin, but now I’m relishing the contrast with the spaces that are left untouched. — Yesterday I of heard the Japanese word Ma - the space in between that is the essence of a thing - “Pots are formed from clay, though the space inside them is the essence of the pot”. — I’d been searching for a name for this notion for months! It’s what’s been steering my year and has fed into so many ideas! I’ve written more about these thoughts and how they’re informing my creative practice in my August studio musings newsletter out next week {link in bio}. — #ma #thespacebetween #itsanothermetaphor #whitespace #whiteink #timelapsedoodles #watersolublegraphite #chartreuse

So excited to be going back to Cyprus in a few weeks, I think it’s seeped into my color choices. I’m all dreamy about the sea and beaches. Isn’t it odd watching a page get unpainted (2nd vid). I’m sure there’s a bigger metaphor in that. #artjournalthoughts #itsallametaphorforsomething #beachcolors

Quick splashy scribbles. Happy weekend all 😘

It always surprises me what a difference it makes adding details in black and white. Seems to make the bright colors even sharper. #doodlesinink #todaysartjournal #mixedmediaadventure
