![]() ![]() It becomes this scared little whisper in the void that we ourselves refuse to even acknowledge, never mind share with others. All the cracks in our psyche that have deepened, and the fresh ones that have formed, thanks to all the isolation and uncertainty. We resign ourselves to keeping busy and trying to maintain routines without stopping to take stock of just how much strain we’ve been under.

In a way it feels like reading the first draft of a story and having your future favourite character leap off the page for the first time, or getting a glimpse behind the scenes of a film in production before it hits the big screen and seeing how all the pieces come together. A big part of what draws me to support up-and-coming artists is the chance to see a work in progress.
