I remember you - pages

I remember you  - pages from the sketchbook

It always drives me forward I hope it reminds me to make the most of the opportunities I have, even the longest life is a brief run.

A saying that I stitched on one of the flags in my previous work, and just like the memories of the man who inspired the work this saying stays with me.

Life in the UK

The other thing that is keeping me busy is studying for my life in the UK test. Filling my brain with useless facts and figures so I can pass the multiple choice test.....as a first step to applying for my indefinite leave to remain - aka permanent residency.  I would have never guessed that I would live in London for five years. Sometimes it takes my breath away, where life has led me or where I have led my life.

So a 40 page form, lots of certificates, evidence and money and I may just be able to stay.

Current work - I Remember You - Part 1

Participating in the Sketchbook project and this is my second attempt,  the first time I didn't complete and send it off (yes this time it will be different).

I choose the theme I remember you - it is the last piece of work based around Dad's death. The final farewell in my art, that will be sent to another place to travel around the world and then live in Brooklyn.

I have until  January 31st to have it completed, packaged and posted. 

This is one of the three things I am working on and it is super exciting to feel them competing for my attention, driving me forward. Also a big reason why my poor blog has been neglected.
