Today marks eleven years since I officially became a self-employed artist. Last year I missed my 10th anniversary because of other things going on in my life and this year it feels a bit flat because of the state of my country and the Somme centenary today.

Centenaries and anniversaries are important in my work and I have chosen two projects to celebrate and mark this anniversary.

Ruth Singer Harefield Hospital Centenary Quilt (full) copy — Last year I was proud to work with Harefield Hospital NHS Trust to celebrate the anniversary of their foundation during World War One.

This week also marks the centenary of the birth of my Grandad, Douglas Eaton, whose life I have celebrated in my work over the last few years with the Tool Shed series and Metamorphosis.
