I came home early today because I went to work very early to assist with some maintenance. All the extra daylight is awesome. If only I wasn't so tired.

Is emotional safety helping us—or quietly limiting how deeply we feel?
In this short, reflective monologue, Sindy explores the tension between emotional safety and emotional depth. While protection and boundaries matter, some emotions only emerge when there’s risk involved.
A calm reflection on vulnerability, feeling, and modern emotional life.
SCRIPT:
Emotional safety matters.
Being protected.
Being respected.
Not being exposed unnecessarily.
But safety also narrows the range
of what we’re willing to feel.
We learn to stay measured.
To speak carefully.
To avoid emotions
that might make things messy
or unpredictable.
And over time,
depth can start to fade—
not because we feel less,
but because we allow ourselves
less room to go there.
Some emotions only exist
when there’s risk involved.
Love that could be lost.
Honesty that could cost something.
Emotional safety protects us.
But emotional depth
often asks
what we’re willing to feel
without guarantees.

There are times when life dosent go as planned. When this happens we can feel intense emotions like greif, resentment, disappointment, and fear. Those emotions can lead you to a lower vibrational state and in that state you can discover your “Shadow Self”. Everyone has a shadow and it can be very beneficial to not shut out that part of yourself . It’s important to experience these intense emotions so that you can uncover deeper parts of yourself to either embrace or let go before the next cycle in life.
Watercolour on paper
Self-portraits from the 1980s to the Millennium
In the autumn of 1983, almost every day for two months, Hockney challenged himself to produce a self-portrait in charcoal. This period of intense self-reflection was, in part, a reaction to the untimely deaths of many of his friends due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The honesty and vulnerability exposed in these drawings is a far cry from the confident self-portraits of thirty years earlier. Like the pages of a diary, these works record the daily changes in the artist’s moods and emotions.
In 1999, alongside his camera lucida drawings he made a series of self-portraits, for which he could not use this optical tool. These playful and vulnerable drawings in which he displays different facial expressions, were influenced by Rembrandt’s self-portrait etchings. In others, he adopted the classical side profile and half-length pose found in self-portraiture throughout art history.
In 2002 Hockney turned to watercolour, a medium he hadn’t explored since the 1960s. This new way of working freed up his approach; allowing him to draw quickly and directly onto paper. Hockney described the watercolour series as ‘portraits for the new millennium’, convinced that, despite his experimentation with the camera lucida, the human eye, the hand and the heart were the best tools for capturing the individuality of his sitters.*

David Hockney: Drawing from Life
(November 2023 - January 2024)
David Hockney (b.1937) is regarded as one of the master draughtsmen of our times. He widely champions drawing, which is at the heart of his studio activity and has underpinned his work throughout his life. From the early pen and ink and coloured pencil drawings, to his more recent experiments with watercolour and digital technology, the artist’s inventive visual language has taken many different stylistic turns.
Over the past six decades he has never stood still, or rested on a particular approach, medium or technique, remaining inquisitive, playful and thought provoking while generously sharing his ideas with his audience. His drawing reflects his admiration for both the Old Masters and ‘modern Masters’ from Rembrandt to Picasso.
Drawing from Life explores the artist’s unique vision of the world around him, which is played out in portraits of himself and his intimate circle. A room of new ‘painted drawings’ of visitors to his Normandy studio in 2021-2 offer a glimpse of Hockney’s continuing working life.
All works in the exhibition are by David Hockney..

Many of our memories now live in photos, posts, and curated highlights. What we save, revisit, and share begins to shape how we remember our own lives.
In this short spoken-word reflection, Sindy explores how curated memory may influence identity itself. When certain moments are preserved and others fade, the story we tell about who we are can quietly change.
This isn’t about nostalgia.
It’s about noticing how memory and identity evolve together.
SCRIPT:
So much of our memory lives outside of us now.
Photos.
Posts.
Highlights we choose to save.
We don’t remember everything —
we remember what gets captured.
What gets shared.
What gets revisited.
Over time, those moments start to shape the story we tell about who we are.
But curated memories are selective.
They leave things out.
And that makes me wonder…
if our memories are being edited,
are we slowly editing ourselves too —
becoming the version of us
that’s easiest to remember?
