"The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel." – Piet Mondrian, Dutch painter 1872-1944

This week the studio beckons me to dig deep and be a channel. The porch is swept, my office and mirrors are spotless, the mending and the ironing are complete: it's now time to get on with the real work.
