I think most of us are suffering from a lack of light at the moment. I can manage being cold, but grey skies and fewer hours of daylight are more of a problem. That’s why I am going away next week for a few days of African brightness, however, I am a little sad that I will be missing this year’s Lumiere London festival. This brilliant event is sure to light up your life!

Litre of Light by Mick Stephenson (UK) with Central Saint Martins students and MyShelter Foundation, Central Saint Martins Crossing. Lumiere at King’s Cross 2016.
Lumiere London is the wonderful idea of Artichoke –  a public art charity set up in 2005 by Helen Marriage and Nicky Webb. They wanted to work with artists to bring large scale, extraordinary art to a wide audience, in a variety of public spaces. In 2016 they put on the very first Lumiere London to great public acclaim.
