What you are proud of tells you something. You're rarely proud of something that came easy. This year I realised a creative project that means an awful lot to me, possibly the most difficult thing I’ve ever made, both personally and creatively.

Making it happen meant finding new ways to do things. It has changed how I think of the creative process and why it is important to make things.I wanted to share what I’ve learned. Maybe there will be something useful here for you. Especially if you are dealing with difficult things in your life, like loss or grief, or if you’re trying to creatively respond to a life challenge.
