More exciting updates… I’m in a group show in London opening at the end of this month!! Click here to book to attend the virtual opening. I still have to pinch myself with this one, it feels a bit surreal. I can’t wait to go and see the exhibition in person.

Read more "New relationship with DegreeArt"Things have been a bit all over the place recently. Moving house, moving studio, finishing uni. One other thing I have been starting and stopping a lot is my studio practice.

The Shock Of The New, Edition 2?, London: Thames and Hudson Ltd"‘Periods of antagonism between man and the world have been the rule, and those of unity the exception – which is why the history of art has known very few periods of classicism, but an enormous number of anti-classicist movements.’ P.85
