Not much to say recently as I need to finish the materials for my book-making workshop at the 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland for next month. So at the moment my series Insomnia is kinda on hold, I am thinking about it, but any time available is really needed to finish this workshop. I think it is going... Continue Reading →
