Happy New Year my friend. I remembered your snake phobia when I wrote this. I have many fears, but only one true phobia: cliffs. It's got a name. Cremnophobia. It's a long story but almost definitely related to childhood experiences around cliffs and sheer drops.
I appreciate your very kind words about my collage. It is so much fun for me making these.
Looking forward to 2022 and to more adventures in art. I hope very much to 'see' then. I has been such a pleasure knowing you.
