Just returned from some great fieldwork in Tsodilo. More as I sort the mass of images, data and DStretch output...

OK. First attempt at painting. Colour's not quite right, but maybe a good start?

Given some of the discourse about copies on here recently, though I'd post a thing I've been working on for a museum. It's a carved schist mould, used in early-mid 19th century Zululand to cast brass beads and wire (for bangles).

Even if it were true...

Screenshot of an old tweet from 2020. It reads: PhD student, c.2020: Here's a limited argument I made based on years of specialised research. Hope it's OK. Slightly sad face emoji. Philosopher dude, c.1770: Here are some Thoughts I had in the Bath. They constitute Universal & Self-Evident Laws of Nature. FIGHT ME.
