I started to think about how the people we love get stored in things and moments, so that we recognise our best friends in strawberries, treehouses and spools of thread. And because I’ve fallen a little bit in love with flash art of late, I decided to start a project called ‘flashes of my favourites’. I’m pinning down my favourite people in wibbly wobbly symbols and building up a picture of them through silly little objects that in my head whisper their names. There is a certain magic to the people we love, and when they’re not there, there is a temporary magic in the objects that remind us of them. We can hold onto the objects and pictures and sap up the magic from there //
