STILL DIGESTING

Summer is in full throttle, Christmas has passed, and New Year’s is on the horizon. Indigestion seems to be a widespread part of the holiday experience. Eating is certainly one of my favourite aspects of this time of year, and it feels like a good moment to reflect on some highlights.

From an art perspective, adventures through Southern Spain, Lisbon, and London stand out most. Visiting so many fabulous galleries and museums, and walking the streets of these breathtaking cities while taking in the vast array of public art, has been a lot to digest - but a necessary cultural injection.

Below are a handful of the sculptures I found particularly inspiring. Enjoy!
