The cleaner was emptying the vacuum cleaner when I noticed a lovely smell… sweet, dusty… Ambroxan?

Then I remembered: I’d spilt some while filming a demonstration!

Found it 😂

If you’ve been thinking about making the trip to Santiago and you love fragrance, AromasFest Chile is a perfect opportunity to meet the Chilean fragrance community, discover their work and connect with people from across the international scent world.

Taking place in Santiago de Chile on 7 November, AromasFest is an international fragrance festival bringing together perfumery, scent and olfactory culture.

And if you’re thinking of going, Early Bird ticket sales finish this week! 🇨🇱

I’ll also be there this year, presenting my olfactory art installation A Time for Peace, A Time for Waltz, giving a talk on Olfactory Activism, and leading the workshop Painting with Smells.

Hope to see some familiar faces from the UK and Europe in Santiago!

Morning video review for a new collaborative project with an art-scientist and an industrial designer.

I’ll be developing the olfactory side of the work. Not revealing too much just yet… but you’ll be able to experience the result in Santiago at AromasFest Primer Festival del Perfume en Chile. Chile this November

The gods of rain have finally listened to the prayers… 🌧️😂

Must be time to get back to the lab and play with all the smells in the air.

Sorry to everyone at Reading Festival… ☔️🙃

Finally managed to make it to V&A East Storehouse, I’ve been meaning to visit since it opened.

Such an interesting way to display art and design: part museum, part open archive

And, of course, I found a few chairs and tables I wouldn’t mind taking home… 🪑🙃

2027 exhibition work begins…

Olfactory art is not just about smell. There is a history, an idea and a concept behind every scent.

One of the most fascinating parts of developing a new work is the research: going back into the past, finding fragments, stories and ideas, and asking what they might mean today.

Tonight, part of that research means watching an old film.

Where this will lead… I’m not telling you yet. 👃🎬
