New signature work is underway and after a busy time last year I am enjoying time in the studio to try out new ideas. I am also looking to collaborate with some new partners on projects with outcomes in 2013. I have also spent time reflecting and writing about recent collaborations and will be presenting papers at conferences in the coming months.
