Back in 2015, I took 30+ students to Barcelona. Student field trips are exhausting and stressful for all the reasons you might well predict, but they’re also a huge amount of fun and invaluable experiences. This photograph of Girona – which we visited for a few hours after our visit to the Salvador Dali museum…

A last few soundsuit-inspired scraps, courtesy of the artist Nick Cave and The Kick-About No.64.

Inspired by the soundsuits of the artist Nick Cave, and produced for The Kick-About No.64, a few more photographs with a dancing ‘glove puppet’ as their subject.

Produced in response to the dancing soundsuits of the artist Nick Cave – our inspiration for The Kick-About No.64 – another set of images, the subject of which is, perhaps improbably, an ad-hoc dancing glove puppet…

A few alternates produced in response to The Kick-About No.63 and the interiors of Vilhelm Hammershøi, taken at The Margate School, which operates out of an old department store in the same seaside town as Turner Contemporary.

This photograph was taken just minutes before we opened our garden to the public as part of last year’s National Garden Scheme shindig; the view here is of our little patch of seating space outside the kitchen, not usually as packed out with plants as this, but not far off.
