I went and saw my work in the Evolver Prize exhibition in Dorchester on Friday. It still moves me to see my work on show, especially when it’s been away from ‘home’ for a while, and I’ve got that distance back so I can see it again with fresh eyes. When I saw it I felt a boost, a reassurance that what I’m trying to instill in my work, a soulfulness, a balance, and a sensitivity to materials, is all in there, that I am being true to the experience of being a sensing, connected part of the world in which I find myself.

And then we went to the beach and sat on the pebbles, watching the rain clouds coming in over the sea.
