Originally graduating in Spanish and Computing whilst teaching Tai Chi Chuan full time as the Teapotmonk, I left academia and the British Isles somewhat culturally confused. Since arriving on the shores of the Iberian Peninsula life has taken many new turns and twists on its vertiginous path towards digital and linguistic clarity.
Several new web based projects are under way including An UnCarved Blog - a search for technological and ideological stability in an ever changing digital world. The City of Water - a critical review of culture and politics in a small Spanish Andalusian Town. Finally, Tai Chi an exploration in Spanish of this ancient and yet paradoxically, very contemporary art from the teapotmonk himself.
