softness

some highlights of 2020 (during and between the UK lockdowns):

i made my own perfume (it’s called ‘temple water’), i learned how to weave (japanese kurashiki knotting), i quit the job in the gallery I found stressful, i started a Masters at the Royal College of Art (training as a design historian), i helped launch world architecture unlocked in my other (nicer) job, i began learning japanese, i began learning how to make instagram filters, new animal crossing!, i wrote a blog post (the first in a few years) on a 1920′s modernist kitchen, i found my parents don’t stress me out as much any more, my pet rabbit poco has been healthier and happier since i’ve been around in the daytime, i’m currently researching/writing about the instagram algorithm and my next module is on the material histories of asia using the V&A museum collection objects. dreams!
