My monthlyish creative update is up on both ko-fi and my blog. This post features a report about my recent webinar with CHASE Medical Humanities Network including some art by participants, 2 piano improvs, and how my various works in progress in embroidery & music are coming along. Links below.

Thinking back to this time last week and Lia Pas's wonderful workshop 'The Invisible Made Visible'. Below are a couple of examples of some of the amazing work that participants made - Laura Donald's 'homophonic reduction' & 'my grains' by @eliza_coli - see campsite bio for other socials.

Because of a severe wrist injury a few years ago, it's been a really long time since I've made any kind of physical art. But I just made this in a workshop led by Lia Pas with CHASE Medical Humanities Network
