Today for me is travel back to Lisbon and home to London! A bit of a dash and a long way.
In a slightly nervous state, I completed my bit of the ‘concertina book’ just before the final goodbyes and a walk by team Cultivamos Cultura up to the bus stop. I added a set of flying Swifts/Swallows, House Martins which move up the page to chromosomes, and falling stick figures before I left. It seems fitting to be ending with birds as I began with birds on my arrival
The work went well and hopefully, there will be additions through the follow-up week of the Cultivamos Cultura Summer School.

Andrew Carnie is an artist and academic. His artistic practice often involves a meaningful interaction with scientists in different fields, regarding themes and ideas, which are often based around neurology as an early stage in the development of his work. The work is often time-based in nature, involving slide projection using dissolve systems or video projection onto complex screen configurations. In a darkened space layered images appear and disappear on suspended screens, the developing display absorbing the viewer into an expanded sense of space and time through the slowly unfolding narratives that evolve before and around them.
