I forget to post on here. Part of the weening off social media, by replacing the time I usually doom scroll with reading or walking outside.. also making more art. It has to be said, I do feel calmer for it. Although the shock of then reengaging with the crazy world is surprising.

Here a little piece I made yesterday. The smallest so far. I included a tiny bit of an old disintegrated newspaper .. can you read the words?

Really enjoying making stuff with my hands. Less doomscrolling more chiselling. #artist

I have set a target of posting at least every other day on my TikTok art page. To build an audience but also to put pressure on myself to keep on making work. The discipline of regular time spent creating. #followme #artist www.tiktok.com/@ruth.ducker...
