back home on the farm with a few days to finish dyeing a collection of dresses that are going to Sweden tomorrow
Sweden?
yes indeed.
when Li Edelkoort and Philip Fimmano ask you to put together a few things to take part in an exhibition at short notice...you don't say no.
so of course I said yes please, how many pieces would you like?
the answer came back : seven dresses with big skirts
dresses with big wild skirts are my favourite things to make.

Kubbi lent a paw and in between supervising me pootled off for a swim with Uncle Boston and Auntie Molly
Willow [also known as Mrs Poo] prefers to take her baths without water.
so now i have seven dresses in the cauldron. Kubbi helps me gather sticks to feed the fire.
then they need to cool and dry before sending off tomorrow. i'd have preferred to leave them bundled for longer but as i'm hopping on a flying sardine can headed for my beloved Aotearoa early next week it's not practical : they need to be photographed for the catalogue before they go in the mail
although it's a group exhibition [there are twelve of us] this is a big event for me...
because it will also be the first time that a series of my photographs will be exhibited in Europe [as a backdrop to the dresses].
the show is at Artipelag, a museum on an island near Stockholm and runs February 6 - May 3, 2015
