crikey – didn’t appreciate how long it had been since last blog! the ideas are moving forward. initially there were two clear strands; the dead tree diaries and the noise interaction at galleries (specifically around young children) each one was progressing with the dead tree focusing around just the imagery they create in their pure […]
