My creative journey on my sabbatical in India and beyond
On my way to the airport, I found 8 small rubber K-Pop figures. Simon had wanted to buy me a K-Pop Barbie but that will be on his next trip. I took them to Corfu. Neeta was supposed to join me from the UK but her mother was ill so I was all alone! I …

Carly isn’t sure she has always been so obsessed with numbers. Like anyone, she has to use numbers in her day-to-day life. She needs them to get on the right bus and pay the right amount of money for any goods. Especially cappuccinos. That is a very important daily ritual for her. She doesn’t like …

I realised that when I went to Japan, I forgot to take any art materials. I like to start off every day doing something creative how silly or simplistic it is. I like to make 3 or 5 or 7 similar but slightly different pieces. Washi tape with cats I am not sure where I …

Maria and Christian gave me a beautiful octopus as a leaving present. It came with a card (see at the end). Octopus likes to go on journeys. A bit like all the Barbies – they (M and C) were both great fans and went back to Germany with one of my pieces – Trafficked Barbies. …
