which creative people, places and things on your radar right now?
places: A residency at SOMA Mexico City and the Camden Arts Centre in London are on my radar. I have been continuing my search for found paper and discovering the intricacies of market life in London. I am in conversation with various galleries/institutions and I’d like my more recent black work to be seen East because of the East/West parallels in the work. I have just returned from India where I made a series of photographic portraits for my Heads Series.
what's your favourite daydream? To feel as strong in life as I do in my work.
what was the last rule you broke? Too many to say!
