why Humpty Dumpty fell
As mentioned on my blog here I’m in the middle of a “verry big project” – the art has been installed and now we’re waiting for the unveiling party to happen. In the meantime I’ve begun some new art projects and over lunch today I wondered, as I’m sure you did, about why Humpty Dumpty…
