I will be exhibiting at The Eastside Culture Crawl this year in Vancouver, Canada with 3 new painting series including the M1 Traffic Series. Exhibiting alongside me in the studio are the Extra Curricular Arts Collective, a small group of artists who spend their days disguised as school teachers. After the teaching day is done, they work together to create high quality clay, textile, and silkscreen art.

The War and Body exhibition is organised by Sarah Maltby, coordinator of the War and Media Network and lecturer with City University London. The exibition is funded by City University. The War and Media Network recognises the intersection between war adn medi as an important area of research. The aim of the War and Media Network is to establish productive dialogue between academics and practitioners interested in this area. The War and Media Network Website provides opportunities to disseminate material and promote events related to war and media.
War is fundamentally embodied.War is embodied in art through the lived experience of the artist who mediates and bears witness to war's transformative power. The War and the Body Exhibition explores the intertwining of war and body in the sculpture, drawing, painting, photography and installation art work of 11 contemporary artists. Artists will be resident throughout the exhibition and discussing their work at the private view evening on the 10th June.It runs from June 8 - 13, 2010 at Blackall Studios, 73 Leonard Street, Shoreditch , London, EC2A 4QS
