Dear Ewan,

I should have worked today but it is the inauguration of a US President like no other before him and I was overwhelmed by the occasion and glued to the screen. For the first time I felt a stakeholder in the journey of a nation that is not my own. Pride. Inspiration. Responsibility. And as an artist, how might I respond to this sublime moment? Every gesture seems inadequate because it is beyond words, gestures, paint and brush.
