I am delighted to share that I recently had a work selected for an online exhibition and zine called 'Cut, Torn & Mended,' which launched on May 16, 2023 (World Collage Day) at Spilt Milk Gallery, a social enterprise based in Edinburgh with a mission to make motherhood more visible by promoting the work of artists who identify as mothers and empowering mothers within the community through artist-led activities.

Our skin is a responsive, tactile boundary between ourselves and others. It functions to protect and cushion us and is elastic, breathable, and washable - a truly amazing organ. It is through our skin that we sense touch, which is possibly the most important sense in a newborn. A baby’s first sense is developed within the womb as waves of amniotic fluid caress their skin along with the hugging of their mother's womb.

This time last year, I was just about to take my first class on Zoom, a medium that like many of you I had not used before! This would also be the last class I taught in the beautiful space that was the Active Birth Centre. I returned home that evening to Boris Johnson on TV announcing lockdown.
