together

A baby dragon and a firefly were born under the same lemony moonlight, they look after each other like brothers

I based this piece around field recordings I've taken in London - on buses, trains, in public and at football matches. The feeling that even if we're alone, we're all in this life together.

During a studio recording session for my radio show, me and the other musicians challenged ourselves to write and perform a song in an hour-- While swapping instruments. It was our first recording session together and listening back to the audio brought me so much joy that it honestly just feels so difficult to contain. I don't often get to make art with other people so I'm just really thrilled that we could not only come together to make something but that it came out so well.

This month has expanded my concept of together in so many ways. "I" has been replaced with "We" because I am a hostage of the tiniest cutest person I've ever met. This month I have not done a single thing alone and I love it. Is this Stockholm Syndrome?

This is a Christmas card design I made which feels aligned to this theme. For me, togetherness is what the winter holidays are about, more than anything else.

Many ideas ran through my head for the theme. Initially wanting to photograph hands intertwined in different positions to wanting to chop up and create new images from developed film. But instead here is a crochet paper chain I’m working on…stitched ‘together’.
