Thank you to all the artists, professional and non-professional, who have shared this journey and trusted me with your work. Thank you to those who have helped in so many ways, making connections and opening doors. Thank you to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation for your support and confidence. Thank you to the friends and family who came to help me celebrate the book last night. And thank you to all the readers of the blog. So here, at last, is my book. You can order a print copy or download a PDF or both: either way, I hope you enjoy it. Now I’m going to have a cup of tea and a sit down.*

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring 
Will be to arrive where we started 
And know the place for the first time. 

T. S. Eliot, Little Gidding (1942)

* Actually, I’m not: the Portuguese edition beckons. Translated by Isabel Lucena, it will be published in April.
