Then we head to the home of Bill and Mandy Epstein. It had been so many years since our last visit when Jeff Burden showed us his incredible work and he was such a modest man

We went to visit LAND’s ‘Ladies’ Lair Lake’ which was spectacular; Trulee Hall once again excelled herself. The show was based on a creation myth that begins with woman not man. The scene is in a forest next to a lake where the nymphs and a mischievous goddess run the show. The usual CGI claymation puppetry green screen and some found nature footage
