Sheepwoman and I and settling in to our new home at Homebase, an international site specific residency exploring the notion of home, located in the offices of an old brewery in an area between Prenzlauerberg and Pankow, Berlin.
My studio is one of 18 studios in the building with a corridor so long that I need a scooter to get to the bathroom. My studio overlooks the garden where I will be working with Diego Zavana Aldana to plan and establish a kitchen garden, creating a relaxing social space and growing fruit and vegetables for the kitchen, the weekly cafe and for the resident artist community and it's neighbours.
We started work in the garden today, digging over soil that had long been frozen during the winter months. We found some strawberry plants and potted them up for safe keeping, whilst we were serenaded by our neighbour Johnny Zabala on guitar, singing blues and Captain Beefheart songs.
More pictures to follow.
Go girl :) x
