Dear reader,

I can see a consistent word, a faithful pattern threading through and behaving much like a welcoming glue to my entire creative process, one I lean into as a home I easily dwell —

I like the idea that anything can happen and that mistakes can be undiscovered paths realised, ones not confined to predetermined structures.

Creatively, I am dear friends with the unplanned,

I am a companion of Improvisation.

I like that I don't need to know where I’m going and that destination is a secondary matter. I enjoy the freedom this brings me creatively. It means exploration and experimentation are unlimited and so are the mediums, nothing is out of bounds.
