WORK GENERATED
Met some of the artists at the BAG studio in the busy docks area with some of the visiting artists form the USF international residency scheme, for a lovely communal lunch.
Then up to the roof of Imi's nearby flat with the Bergen artists to watch the sun set, aided by a rather nice bottle of Ardmore whisky.
