"...contemporary civilization often seems to behave as though the hierarchy is inverted—as if the biosphere exists to serve the economy, and the economy exists to serve the technology. We treat the largest, most complex, most irreplaceable system—the living Earth, with its 4-billion-year-old architecture of feedback loops, nutrient cycles, and biodiversity—as a mine, while treating a 5-year-old large language model as an asset."

The Replacement Fallacy

Personal Perspective: We cannot compute our way out of a planet we have consumed.

Remember, when Barcelona eliminated 3 lanes of vehicle traffic & converted this street into a 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid, businesses sued. They actually won. But by decision-time, the businesses had decided they actually like it. citylabbcn.org/the-legal-at...

I made some tests prints for a lino-cut holiday card design. Some aspects of the design turned out a little sloppier than I'd hoped but overall I like it.

Since stress knitting was my main coping mechanism last night, I finished and blocked the Alpine Bloom sweater I’d been working on for the past week. I won yarn chicken with only 2 grams of main color yarn to spare. I’m delighted by the sleeve length as well as the softness and drape of the main yarn, which blocked out beautifully. It was such a satisfying project that only took eight days to make. It’s so different from my first Alpine Bloom sweater that I think it will serve a very different role in my handmade wardrobe. #knitting #handmade

Very pleased that my wood engraving 'Forcan Ridge' has been selected for the Society of Wood Engravers 2025 exhibition. It starts at the Bankside Gallery in London (next door to the Tate) in February before traveling the UK.

All prints in the 2024 exhibition (including another of mine) can be seen here:
