At last…an internet connection. For those who expressed doubt, I am very much alive.

I have been based in Berlin since March, and so far so inspiring (at the time of writing I am here until at least October). The hostility of London being wiped away as suddenly as a two-hour flight is as refreshing as an august super-soaker showdown. Special.

As soon as I saw Berlin I wanted it, and fortunately I’m in the habit of twisting dreams into reality. I am working under scholarship at the Universität der Künste Berlin, an institution which has to be experienced to be believed, especially if one is accustomed to the British education industry; industry being the operative word. Freedom, brilliance, red squirrels tumbling around like giddy children. My studio is in a castle, really. London – forgive my adultery – I’m in love.

Europe, flock…
