The Faraway Nearby The Thing I’ve been working

The Faraway Nearby The Thing I’ve been working on behind the scenes these past few weeks is almost ready to fly off into the world. For ages I’ve been referring to it as the accordion retreat but I always knew that was a working title. Eventually, if I was patient, something would pass by my way and I would be ready to catch hold of it.
I love Rebecca Solnit and her book The Faraway Nearby passed by my way and I caught it. This is just a little something in my sketchbook inspired by the book, but Faraway Nearby is now the name and spirit of the retreat/workshop, and it’s beautiful, thoughtful, nourishing and expansive. I’ll be sharing more here and on my stories very soon.
If you think you would like details when it’s open, link in bio.

Here’s the second handmade lockdown book. Rather than film a tour I decided to take photos as it’s a bit scrappy and hard to turn the pages. There’s some drawings that are abysmal and while I’m usually game for showing everything, I did an edit on this one. I’m splitting it into two parts, swipe sideways for the first few spreads. I’ll share the rest tomorrow

Another page from another lockdown book.
I had to make these out of whatever paper I had already and drew intuitively.
It has to come from the soul. I can’t explain it any other way.
