■ Welcome! I was struck while reading the proofs this month that where and with whom we create can sometimes be as important as the resulting artwork – sometimes the journey can be the destination. From husband and wife, to other creative partnerships, from single sewers to less tangible online groups, many are represented here. Mexican duo Gabriel and Fernanda, partners both in and out of the gallery, focus on their home and their role as hosts which has provided inspiration for their lovely warm textiles. Similarly, the duo Lissy and Rudi are partners in art and life.Their Maori heritage and concept of home inspires them too, but with very different results – fantastic joyous neons, sunglasses required.
