In Isotopica, as in my wider art practice, i work with and try and reveal a little of the deeply personal in a way that i hope is universal….. it’s not all about me, oh no!
\nToday we start with a short film by rufus davis, that was started as a documentary, about a provincial<\/a> cricket club<\/a>, a quintessential english country affair, yet it ended as being a tribute to one of it’s most unusual members, Andrew Russel, my nephew and very close friend, who died in the care of a very careless shaman during a far less common country pursuit, the english ayahuasca ceremony<\/a>.
\nHe had a very unusual and bad reaction, and instead of ending up oin hospital, he was taken to a yurt on our welsh woodland retreat and kept in a coma for a few days, when he finally reached hospital it was too late and the machines that go beep<\/a> were turned off…. bowled out, way before his time. the full story will be somewhat later…,
