I was in Cardiff on Monday to meet the lovely WalesLab team. Cardiff has changed so much from how I remember it as a child, and not just physically. There is a real buzz about the city now and is full of creative people and creative thinking. It felt like coming home, except it's a home that I never knew I had.

So much of my practice is tied up in 'home' - in that sense of belonging, or not belonging. Of a dislocation between the person and the place.

There is something different about the air in South Wales. When I return my work takes on a new significance, a new meaning. And that is exhilarating. I which I could bottle the air and take it back to me to my freezing cold studio space above a bag shop in Reading, to breathe in every time I needed inspiration, or a reminder of why I am making the work I am making.
