This Saturday I’m going to present some work at FormContent with the rest of the antepress group, to mark the beginning of a season-long collaboration with the curators. The idea is that we’ll respond to their exhibitions and events with […]

Yesterday Holger took me up North a bit to visit the artist Robert Mittringer in his studio in Epferding. This was such a pleasure and he and his wife were so sweet and generous. I left after 4 hours there, […]
