I have proved by actual trial that a letter, that takes an hour to write,
takes only about 3 minutes to read!
Lewis Carroll

The idea behind the experiment was to use a quote in another context to get it to say something
slightly different. Carroll’s words are used in a tautologic way: the words/letters, which are about
how long it takes to write a letter that is going to be read very fast, have taken literally
hours to write/weave across the gate, and (hopefully) won’t take more than 3 minutes
to be deciphered.

The idiom up a gum tree, originated as like a possum up a gum tree, refers to being in trouble.

I recently got commissioned by the Students Union of the University of Arts London to realise this thread map in order to promote Pathfinding.

Pathfinding is the fresher’s week organised by Arts London. This booklet details a week of introductions and workshops across Camberwell College of Arts, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Chelsea College of Art and Design, London College of Communication London College of Fashion and Wimbledon College of Art.
