A Trace of Memory – A New, Free, and Ephemeral Thing

I make things all the time.  Pieces of music, poetry, little collections of photographs, essays (impromptu dance routines) etc, etc.  Some things grow into larger projects and some I make just to make. One of my favourite things is to show up in the studio (can you see I have nothing up my sleeve?) and …

Tonight, I went to an opening at the #EdinburghPrintworks . . This is a series of monoprints by the very talented Anna York. Each one contains a sketch of the feet of a real Syrian refugee, above a rough route of their journey, ending in Edinburgh. Each story was heartbreaking. . .
