What was the impact on your practice?
My senses were flooded with a richness and breadth of new experiences, and I began to make work with a focus on the sensory. My work started to be about how I was feeling, how I was processing and reflecting what I saw, touched, heard, tasted and smelled as I travelled around Italy.
What would you say the long term impact has been on yourself and your work?
I continue to prioritise time to think and make space for my own work. My work still has a focus on sensation, food and drink, light and dappled shade, lyrics and prose.
I am interested in the pleasures and familiar reflective spaces of daily life - the hand holds by which we move from day to day.
