The Blasted Tower; A Painful Change

Open studios has happened and Im in a new space downstairs. It makes my work look different and I feel different. There is something about being in a more open area and on the ground that suits me. I often notice I need a lot of grounding, maybe because of the psychotherapy work I do.

I have been going through a very hard patch for a few years, my dad has a degenerative serious condition and its ongoing... and I recently ending with a place of work that was stressful and not compatible for my current family needs or the need for studio time. This studio move couldnt be better time. I now have some free time and can be in there doing whatever I want and making things. Its a blessing. It's funny how hard times are tolerable and seem scarier to those on the outside of it.

Art making seems all the more important at the moment to ensure Im expressing what I need at a time when my body and mind wants to avoid.
