Just a casual bit of family research on the island. Connecting with our Saint heritage was one hell of a journey! #StHelena #heritage #ancestry

Proud of the powerful work from Hillborough Junior School today looking at refugee experience and art activism. #safepassage

Y5 students explored the power of Art and how it can be used as a form of activism to get a message across. Linking with their work on refugees and The Arrival, students learnt about artist, Ai Weiwei, before recreating a clay version of his piece, Law of the Journey #safepassage

Background done luvie... now it gets serious! Following my residency to #StHelena it is a privilege to try and capture some Saint spirit on canvas.
