An insightful, rewarding project to be involved with alongside @KeeleUniversity @BethJohn64 and St John’s PrimarySchool. Looking at the part, pets play in all stages of life and the impact they have. The film covers the three days the project took place over earlier this year. 🐶 – at West Midlands, England

Great privilege tonight to listen to @PhilipHardaker1 talk about his art and career @KeeleUniversity. The radicalism, the moral commitment to ecology and sustainability, the playfulness were all there. Produced art for his friend #KirstyMacColl, and designed sets for the @poguesofficial, too
