Thatt sums up my lockdown day with some admin too. I walked to the far end of the bay this morning and distracted myself to feel calm by noticing my surroundings but also by taking photographs and video clips of vitamin sea. I have been reaching out to the water sports community for more art …
So a delayed walk this morning due to the rain meant I set off up to my studio space to work on the sailing piece and completed it. In contacting the person who had posted the photo and finding out more about the event I discovered that the photo was copyrighted to a photographer, who …
