These are some close ups of some drawings of mangroves I’ve been working on for EcoViva.
A fantastic organisation working on environmental sustainability, social justice and peace for communities in Central America. Can’t argue with that really, can you?

On Sunday I tested out some silk screen print facilities in Kobe. http://kavc.or.jp/ It’s a nice studio, the only problem is it’s hardly ever open and the sessions are short, only 3 and a half hours!

These prints are about being in the midst of finding your feet in a place.
In dance and yoga sometimes you do an exercise at the beginning where you lift all of your toes off the ground and slowly put them back one by one, being aware of all the weight you can put on them. In dance they sometimes say it is to bring awareness about connecting your body with the ground, something that is always there, but we can forget about our relationship with it.

 This print is from a drawing from my diary, of one of my private students called Koume. In our first class she didn’t say anything, now she talks almost constantly in Japanese. Next step: English.

You gotta have good snacks if you want to paint a good picture.

Day 10 was cut short because of rain.
The deadline was supposed to be monday 21st but it’s been extended. I think I need one whole day or two halves to finish. Then I’ll show you the whole finished thing.
I can’t wait. but I’ll also be sad because I don’t want the project to end… it’s a dream job.

was horrendously cold. bitter wind! we only lasted 2 hours.
pictures tomorrow. x
