I was complaining to my friend about how awful things feel and how hard it all is at the minute, and he said 'it's a period of deep moral injury for anyone with a thinking mind and a working heart,' and if that doesn't just hit the nail on the head I don't know what does.

'When you embark on an education that cannot obviously be commodified, that doesn’t translate into earnings, it is a way of saying (and believing) that your mind’s value to society is innate.'

If you're having a bad day, here's some otters on a water slide to make your day better..

Tube workers, Embankment Station, the day before I started the residency at The Earls Court Development Company last January, which I absolutely loved. I told them what I was about to do & they very graciously allowed me to photograph them. One-hour drawing, listening to Gideon Coe & Marc Riley ⚽️🍺🐳

'Throughout the case, the museum's supporters, including artist Kirsha Kaechele - who created the work - had used the courtroom as a space for performance art, wearing matching navy suits and engaging in synchronised movements.' Ah art how I love you!
