Here is a glimpse of my current 145 Collective show, in collaboration with Zam Zam at the Island in Bristol. More photos to follow soon… the show has been extended for another week, so please come…

I am now entering my third year of my imaginary drawing/ writing school course, as part of the imaginary university.

Here are my year’s aims
