I don't mind messages on social media as I can choose to answer when I have time, or feel like it! But as it was Carry, we started to chat. Carry Gorney is an artist and a past student of mine. She played and developed new ideas in my original online workshops several years ago, and came to my home in Ireland to take part in one of my Look, Draw, Print, Stitch weekends.   An image of work created by Carrey Gorney, featured in the exhibition and book Burnt Histories   Here is part of Carrey's question this morning - "Your surface teaching work is still wonderful.

Photos are what you do.
