Going Up The Country

Yo.  I’ve totally neglected this blog recently, life getting in the way, and now I can’t remember what I wanted to mention.  Stuff happened, it was cool, etc.

Tonight is my last night in London, tomorrow morning I get in a van and drive my life to North Wales to live in a caravan on the side of a valley with the woman I love.  When I moved here from Brighton over 2 years ago I said that it would either make me or break me, and while I don’t think it’s gone to either extreme I’m certainly leaving a different person to who I was, with a different understanding of my work, Art & the art world.  I love London, it’s an incredible place, and the drive and creativity that it harbours in the people and places is an incredible inspiration that frowns on laziness.  But it’s a hard place too, and recently I’ve been unable to spend time on my work and neglected enjoying the present, and I’m too poor to live here, and the underground & buses are an increasingly horrible experience.  The time I’ve spent in the countryside recently has been amazing, and I’m more excited than I can explain to be moving there, to have time and space to make work, chop wood, walk the dogs and to be with the best woman ever.
