Dear Jim,
Before you know it, it's time to go.
It doesn't matter how much I anticipate it, or how much I try to slow down, these days just fly.
And I drag my feet and grab onto the edges, but still it slips away from me.
There's nothing left to say about the end of a residency, it's always strange.
Instead here are some pictures of my time.
I'm looking forward to getting into the studio and making when I get home (thought it's not for a while) - I think it will be informing my work for quite some time.
