🥳I am very excited to announce that this baby is due on 4 July from Thames & Hudson (and on 3 September in the USA)!🥳

'As he fights against the frustration of his shaking hands and blurring vision, the form becomes ever simpler, eventually reduced to its bare, expressive form. So painfully mortal, and yet so divine.'

I am officially now just a footnote to Taylor Swift

Don’t know how many Swifties I have in my timeline but we’re reviewing The Tormented Poets Department tonight. Join us at 7:15. And Hettie Judah on the Venice Biennale.

Still not over the Acts of Creation exhibition at Arnolfini I went to see last week Hettie Judah I've never felt more seen in an exhibition before. It was powerful, moving and comprehensive. Can't wait for the catalogue and to see it again Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) & DCA ❤️

Great piece by Hettie Judah theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

This is a statement of fact: I have not been on a single train in the past 12 months that hasn’t been delayed or cancelled. Not a single one. Is this normal now? (*currently sitting on delayed train ….. sigh)

A very different take on motherhood — art by women (not old masters) ⁦Hettie Judah⁩

Recently I’ve seen people with huge followings here state that reasonable criticism of Israel is ‘Jew hatred’ and ‘blood libel’. It really, really isn’t antisemitic to object to Israel starving people and massacring children and murdering aid workers.
