Caption: The feeling... I always like using a sense of abundance and colour in my work but I also have to connect to a calmer simplicity at times...
I love the Japanese aesthetic principles, particularly wabi sabi, and as I have been working on a sponsored Instagram project this week using Japanese food...

Caption: ..I have also completely fallen in love with the book illustrated by Florence du Cane which I recently borrowed from The London Library ( you can see more of it here )

have such a quiet, asymetric and simple beauty...
