Poster Competition update
Remember the poster competition? Well, I entered Love Is Awesome poster into the competition, along with the following blurb, and won £50.

A spoonful of sugar
Today I received my first bit of post at the new address. In the 1990s, road-protestors discovered a British law that says that once a letter is successfully delivered to a dwelling, that address is established as a home and the resident dwelling therein becomes entitled to the same rights of access and protection as […]
Love assignment #3: create a site-specific work for the knitted speakers

A good start
I have somehow managed to find an unsecured wi-fi network that is giving me The Internet in my very own home. I do not know how long this lucky bit of joy will last, so will keep this post brief. My posts are going to be quite intermittent until I figure out an affordable way […]
