Welcome to The Lost Weekend, a title John Lennon used to describe the 18 month period where him and Yoko mutually split so he could move from New York to LA to have an affair with his assistant. It was marked by lots of debauchery and Brandy Alexanders ("that's brandy and milk, folks"). But musically he was prolific, creating 3 albums, producing 2, and recording for the last time with Paul. It was a time of intense creativity and questionable behaviour, where he reached artistic highs not because of his personal lows, but in spite of them.

The Lost Weekend is my hideout. It’s somewhere that embraces mess and creates beauty in imperfection and insanity. It’s a place for my jewellery, Crafts, writing and whatever else I make that brings me back when I'm lost.
