Hi Claude,
Nice to hear from you. Glad you are well again.
Not only will technology not always be available but I have a theory
(that I can't be bothered to prove) that it can also make you ill and
contribute to hospitalisation.
There's nothing quite like a letter through the door (that isn't a bill
or from the tax office) to lift the spirits.
re
* Learn to make art without technology, for sanity when there is no
technology to assist your creativity
I made these drawings in daily sessions of dirty-fingered divination

mainly because I'm fascinated with drawing at the moment but also to
re-balance my day to day experience of computer life. Its tools, and
connectivity are empowering but it can also deliver a daily
pihrana-attack experience.
Look forward to hearing more from you soon.
best
Ruth
