If you marvel at the human spirit and the sublime in the natural world and love to feel inspired, then I have histories for you. In the most dire and dark of circumstance, an adversary in whom’s presence every other difficulty fades to insignificance, we find examples of inspirational resilience and compassion; acts of selflessness and generosity that border on the extreme. My life has been intertwined with conflicts and acts of God played out time and time again while the natural world struggled to keep up out of harm’s way; episodes which, in my precious naivety, I expected would one day come to an end, With age comes pragmatism but I still remember the names, the fear, the laughter and the embrace of those who welcomed me into their worlds like kin; lives lived in obscurity, fighting for futures they knew they may not live to see. Memory, its preservation, reconstitution and transferral is sacrosanct to my work in all of its forms. The fieldwork that I share here, both ongoing and vintage, is replete with transcendental moments from lives shared in the regions of Asia where I have spent the best part of my working life. Sharing the knowledge that I have accumulated is a passion of mine and for those of you on your own voyages into unknown worlds you will find a variety of collaborative opportunities, including bespoke field-trips where you have the unique possibility to work alongside me in the field in Asian regions. If there is anything you’d like to ask I will happily reply when time allows. And lastly, if you enjoy the work and would like to support its continuation, you may like to discover the various incarnations of my 2snakestudio's 'Lulik Haunt', from its beginnings in Bangkok's Chinatown, to the Northern city of Chiang Mai nestled under towering Teak and Pine, to Arles, France (Zomia) and its ongoing metamorphosis under the Vercors Massif in the Diois region of France. Here you may view and acquire unique artworks in the form of hand-annotated images, handmade books and talismanic pieces; and in the Eye-Witness and Bestiary collections you will find signed, pigment ink editions. Voila! thank you for your visit; I’m constantly adding new elements so if you enjoyed yourself please come back soon, oh, and in the interests of going live there are definitely elements that still need to be added, so if you can't find that caption you're looking for, please be patient! Be safe in the life, Philip Blenkinsop
