PERSONAL PR
I'm in season 2 of Under The Vines on TVNZ and was asked to do participate in Face Time in early February. It took me a week to write my answers because this was a kind of publicity I hadn't done in a long time. The questions matter and I wanted to choose my words carefully but also have some fun. I found the process really enjoyable and, mercifully, they published my words without changing anything major. -

ARTISTIC REPRESENTATION? TICK.
When Artfull Director Jess Agoston invited me for coffee and asked if I wanted to be, in her words, an "Artist with a Capital A" by joining the Artfull team, I said Hell yes! Then I was hit with a wave of impostor-syndrome-like doubts that always comes with taking a bigger step than I'm used to into exciting but slightly unfamiliar territory where, crucially, other people might be watching.I have a habit of doing this to myself. -

FORCE MAJEURE
In French grammar, the noun force is feminine and its adjective “agrees”, with an “e” on the end: majeure. If you google “force majeure” you get “unforeseeable circumstances”, “irresistable compulsion” (I like that one), “superior strength” ( I LOVE that), “an effect that cannot be reasonably anticipated or controlled” (bring it on!), an “Act of God”.
Isn’t that…love?
