I’m at a Laundromat in New Plymouth with four machines working their arse off for me. How did I get into this situation?...never mind. So out comes the sketch book with the idea of drawing my daily fix without thinking of the outcome. A bit like meditation...clear the mind; be at peace, in tune with the infinite. So my eyes see flames appear around my cup but my mind said no; that’s a lotus flower. OK, I can go with a lotus flower and as the machines do their work I finish my drawing.
A few hours later and I show the drawing to my sister, who sees an artichoke, which reminds her of the time she bottled many artichoke hearts with our friend Martina, which sounds like a fun time, which reminds me that this 100 days project is bigger than just me.
