One half of knowing what you want, is knowing what you must give up before you get it.

This is an inspirational futuristic aeroplane picture left in the studio by previous tenants. I will miss it!

I have just looked up motivational sayings (I love the language and clichés used in quotes like these) but ‘One half of knowing what you want, is knowing what you must give up before you get it‘ seemed to make a lot of sense to me. We decided a few months ago that having a physical studio space wasn’t right for us and that we would have more time and space to think without it.


A change like this always makes you feel reflective and reassess what it is you would like to do. It was sad to say goodbye but I am looking forward to using the space available at home to make work (with bonus catties to distract me, as one is doing right now!).

On our last night we sat outside on cushions, drank red wine and miniature beers. We ordered pizza and had the company of a bold little black cat that I have named Alfred for confidentially reasons, who has the most mouse like meow in Carrington.

After been poorly and useless and having to pull in lots of favours (Thank you!!) it was so lovely to leave on such a high!
