WE’VE GOT THAT YET

23.09.2022 ~ 09.10.2022

"We’ve Got That Yet" is a something I heard Marriane say about Christmas cake; we were leaving the beach with our towels around our waist and she came up next to me to remind me "...there’s still Christmas cake at home, we’ve got that yet." As soon as I got to the car I fished my phone out of my bag and wrote it in Notes, next to all the other show name ideas.

It summarises the feeling of swimming all summer long with goggles on, being the happiest you’ve ever been and expecting to get even happier. It’s that joyous expectancy that’s applicable to this body of work - I have distilled feelings, seasons, smells, stories, jokes and treats from the last year onto paper. My intention is for them to be viewed as portals for play, both now and in the future. We’ve Got That Yet.
