time for change
Am 26ten September 2021 wird in Deutschland die Bundestagswahl stattfinden. Die Weichen werden hiermit für die Politik der nächsten fünf Jahre gesetzt. Einer der wichtigsten Bereiche für die Sicherung der Zukunft ist unser Gesundheitswesen.
These are PAINtings in which different aspects of pain or associated themes are expressed in paintings and drawings.
In part three of this series about health and illness, I would like to present some thoughts and ideas about chronic pain.
I haven’t managed an update to the site for a while for various good reasons. Here’s a quick peek into my chaos at the moment. I can’t write about everything for reasons I can explain later so here goes:
Finally decided to get out a bit as lockdowns are significantly lifting. We wanted to see the mountains again with all other things here being generally insanely busy at the moment.

This is a small collection of interesting links to art created by Andy Goldsworthy. I am a great admirer of his work, his patience, his detail and apparent love of nature.
