So it’s been a great couple of months. My work has been travelling around different places in the world and the balance between teaching and exhibiting feels bang on. March saw me over in New York where my work was selected for the New York Photo Festival. We went over to see the work at The Powerhouse Arena. What a brilliant venue and what a great experience.

“a laboratory for creative thought. Home to world-renowned art book publisher Powerhouse Books, the arena is a gallery, boutique, book store and events space located in NEW York’s scenic Dumbo neighborhood. The Powerhouse Arena showcases a series of landmark exhibitions, performances, and controlled mayhem fusing the worlds of art, photography, design, fashion, pop culture, advertising, music dance film, and television into a glorious whirlwind of captivating spectacles”
