I’m currently in the process of moving. Moving is such an experience. Mostly a bad one. Who knew how much stuff one has accumulated and don’t even get me started on the amount of computer cables that seem to have multiplied in their box.

One of my new year resolutions in 2021 was ” bring more art into my life”. I was reflecting on this the other day thinking if I could’ve been anymore vague. An unachievable goal according to the productivityists because I can’t quantify this goal in any way and I had no measures of progress. It’s…

I was reading this article the other day about generational colour (and the new Very Peri pantone colour of 2022). As a millenial, I was interested to read about how Fushia Rose was the colour of the year back in 2001 which set forth a decade of pink within culture which is now called Millenial…
