CURRENT and FUTURE EVENTS
Life Project Collaborative
At present Ben and I are actively developing many aspects of this project. Look out for some really exciting work coming out of our studio over the coming months.
Kiribati Artist Residence
I will be travelling to the middle of the Pacific ocean in early 2010 with the artist Anna-Maria O’Keeffe to undertake a 3 month residency exploring the situation for this nation of extremely low lying atolls. 32 of the 34 islands are imminently threatened by changing sea levels.
