You are a vital piece
Of my history, my story, my fabric;
Fabric woven of countless connections, faces, friendships;
A vast tapestry where much is intertwined.

Despite the bigger picture some threads
Are more distinctive than others;
Brighter colours, a longer length,
More interesting stitching.

I am filled with overwhelming gratitude
For you being a part of my journey,
And that I am lucky enough
To have travelled some of yours.

Loving wishes and friendship
For evermore x

(2010)

Images from my year of study on the MA Design Futures programme at Goldsmiths. For my thesis I wrote about communicating our ability to respond within a creative practice and everyday life. Other areas covered within this year of research include the effects of visual messaging on well-being, drawing and illustration as emotive communication and the relationship between word and image.
