        "Rationalising diabetes through art"
        May one ask what kind of art?
        AND... How are you finding it?

        At the moment it's an installation relating to my journey which shows 1). the amount of weight I'm losing daily in blocks of lard (in felt boxes - all a bit Joseph Beuys) and 2). a visual representation of the amount of sugar certain carbs turn to in your blood. The amount of fat/weight is shocking, even for me. If I knew how to attach photos I would!

        Best I can do is an avatar image of the thing in progress (which will be there for a limited time) and I'm finding the whole process very cathartic!
