The culmination of this project will be a grand display—a large-scale mobile art piece set amidst the trees at Timber Festival.

Exhibitions

The Art of belonging

Wednesday 11 October 2023 until early Spring 2024

Bankside Hotel, 2 Blackfriars Rd, Upper Ground, London SE1 9JU.

I’ll be exhibiting as part of a group show entitled ‘The Art of Belonging’ to tie in with Frieze London who have listed the Bankside Hotel as one of their Hotel Partners.

"The Art of Belonging" is a celebration of the theme of belonging that we all seek to find. This is also at the very core of the ethos of the Bankside Hotel 'Where you Belong' within their vibrant community and unique ambiance.
