My world seems to change and shift constantly. Always, when I think I have found my place, it has challenged me with a new place, often one that I wouldn’t have chosen, but that is circumstance and we are all caught out by it sometimes.

It is supposed to be good to live in the now and look to the future, but when the present is hard to take and tomorrow is unsure, looking back is where you learn what really made the places you loved so special. Memory distils and condenses all those things into this, the bones of the place.

It is the core of something that once spoke to you, and when you recognise that voice, you understand the core of yourself a little better.

The future will be, but the past is a rich place too. The things we’ve achieved are carved into the history of our lives and other lives we have touched. In the restlessness they are a constant.

I hope you like this work, thank you for your support and for coming to see it.
