Last summer I spent seven weeks working as an apprentice at Hjorths Fabrik, a ceramic factory and museum located on the Danish island, Bornholm.

It’s interesting to think about the power of a singular object to convey such a strong narrative or fantasy, how easily we are able to project ideas and images onto them, to conjure all the other elements needed to form a cohesive narrative.

During the summer months the railings that line the grassy edge of the lawns are transformed, hosting a bounty of unruly plants.

In the week since we arrived to Ferwig for my residency, we’ve so far only walked two different routes from the studio — one taking us to Gwbert, where we get a drink and a portion of chips at the local hotel, the other a running route to Mwnt beach

I find it quite jarring to be among this near constant state of construction here, aware that I am becoming less and less familiar with the place. Maybe this is why I feel more inclined to explore like today.

As opposed to setting out with little expectation or plan, when dériving we should be purposeful and have clear intention

The ability to be affected seems to begin with being present — aware of the impact your surroundings have on you and vice versa. At the moment it’s winter in Valencia.
