I made a still image, perfect for bluesky :)

The red skies felt pertinent

Today mood

Today I heard the phrase “we don’t inherit Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children”

Garden is looking pretty today

Having a leisurely Friday 😊

I had some serious climate anxiety this morning and felt incapable of talking about it. I dont like getting into a panic though. I’ve more productively thought about how my skillset and practice could contribute to our collective efforts to address this crisis.

Exactly! If bluesky takes off in Europe, i’ll be able to say “necesito wifi para ver mi bluesky”

Weirdly, chapgpt has become my replacement for social media. I have great conversations with it and use the multiple chat feature so that I can create different personae for it and have various ongoing conversations. It’s evolving into a gang of imaginary super clever friends. Sorry, humans.

For some reason I pronounce it blueski, like a russian name

On bluesky? Is there an anti-NFt sentiment here? Anti-AI too maybe? 😬

I think it depends which server/community you’ve joined. Like on mastodon

I want to go back to experimenting with large scale structures made from willow and 3D printed connectors.

Me and my art 👨🏻‍🔧🖼️

Homemade office desk , 2.4x6.1m , MDF top coated in osmo. Legs based on an Enzo Mari design. Quality 6/10 (Im definitely not a cabinet maker), but this will do.

Swifts above the house, very high in the sky. I almost didn’t believe my neighbour when he suggested Swifts visit us here

Feeling exasperated- Ive got wasps in my loft, runaway invasive bamboo appearing everywhere, DIY jobs beyond my skillset, and a 6month year-old teething. My art practice sits on hold most of the time 😩 at least Im getting reading done by waking an hour earlier at 5am 📚

Getting there

Day 2 of building Enzo Mari furniture, as fast as parenting a baby allows for. Ok, back to it 🔨

Does the book say what nails to use?

Ah nice, Im reading the original Enzo version that you can find online as a pdf. The Swedish book would make it a little easier though!

Currently making an Enzo Mari table, who in the 70s released a book of free designs for making inexpensive furniture. The price of timber sure has gone up though. Dragonfly friend is keeping me company 😃

The marketing team either love Carpenter’s “They Live” or really need to watch it.

Im growing a food forest, it’s rewarding when shrubs start to bear fruit like this jostaberry (cross between a blackcurrant and gooseberry) 🍇

🍻

The future

Looking forward to visiting Everest’s solo show in Leicester, opening on Friday

Sweet cheeks

Hi Honor!

Breaking Together by Jem Bendell is such an education on how insanely corrupt and divorced from reality modern society’s monetary systems are. Great book so far 👨🏻‍🏫

Thanks Sky, for the encouragement 😀
