In 2007 I spent the year travelling extensively and participating in several artist residencies. I made a weekly drawing during my overland tour from the Netherlands to China and back again to the Netherlands. The weekly drawing, named Friday column, arrived by fax to an artists initiative in Breda, the Netherlands. Maintaining contact with the Netherlands during my travels was important to foreground my awareness of the fact that although I made my art during 2007 in another reality, I never-the-less, inevitably did it from my own cultural context. To that end I devised the fax project Friday column.

The 52 drawings are brought together in a colouring book.
