2013 is over now. It began for me with a fantastic party in a big country house, a buffalo dance in a king’s coat, and an icy swim in a pond. It ended with a baby.

Dreaming the Universe Into Existence
Arachne
As part of the preparation for the recent birth of my daughter, I read a bit about birth art and a lot about natural labour and childbirth. Naturally for such a significant event I was going to have ideas for icons and this is the sketch of the image that came to me one day.
She Walks Among Us
Arachne
I made this painting a long time ago, from a quick outline doodle I’d drawn of someone I saw in the street. I used to display it at the Kew Studio, in the staircase gallery, and the staff at the nursery on the ground floor used to turn it round to face the wall.

Langenscheidt and Aoide

Arachne
Ibuprofen was invented at Boots in the 60’s. I made a picture about it.

Arachne
While I was ill I started making iconographic sketches representing the spirits of these medicines and some other themes.
