The hand-stitched Civilisation Collages from my Barbican Library show are in my shop (see ‘buy my art’ in the bio link) for the next 2 days. Priced at £57, which includes UK postage and a 5% donation to Arts Emergency. They are signed and dated original artworks. Bargain!

@serailway.bsky.social shoutout to Jan at Bromley South who offered to help me with my huge roll of fabric yesterday, even though i didn’t ask. I have seen her helping people before. She is great. Annoying that those at the top get paid more than they deserve, and those who deserve it don’t
