I was just thinking about the last artwork that got me really excited and inspired here in Finland.
A powerfully articulate and moving work, attributed to Elokapina, Finland and Restore Wetlands, Sweden, 2024.

Well considered for it's impact, and - for it's ease of removal.

Small works in progress emerging during a month residency at Gallery Mcube, Lalitpur, Patan, Nepal.

Originally conceived as visualisions of actions for camera, the clunky collages are taking on their own life.

Tilt, a proposition, UN Park, Patan.
