I found this quotation in a sketchbook whilst clearing out my workroom, one of many displacement activities before I settle down to making work.
An African quotation just right for the times at the moment.‘Europeans have watches, Africans have time.’
In these strange times I have that elusive thing – time.
Surrounded by what seems like chaos and too many possibilities I enjoy the gradual process during sampling, experimenting and handling materials of resolving a way of working and creating some sense of order. I love this part when once I get stuck in, one thing leads to another. Now’s the time to get started.
