I was pretty sure I'd forgotten how to get onto this blog, but it turns out it wasn't that hard. So now there's no excuse for not putting work up. I've got a little bit of catching up to do with putting old work up.

This is one of my favourite pieces I've done based off some visits to a care home. Alot of the patients I meet there had dementure so I decided I wanted to create images that conveyed memory in some way. I also wanted to create images that weren't too depressing. As I was getting to know the patients I found out that one of them used to be a postwomen. This gave me the idea of representing thoughts and memories as post. The story takes place in two worlds, one in the care home and one in a fantasy land that has a brain-like landscape to suggest the old women's mind.
