In Ruin Solo exhibition at Stryx gallery Birmingham June 2nd – 20th 2023 Outcome for Pressure Cooker: Soup VI Residency Programme
‘A re-enactment of repetitions and rituals against the backdrop of relentless urban regeneration all around this artists’ studio space and the city in general. The Stryx gallery will present painting, objects and live performance, exploring personal themes in relation to romantic and haunted notions of ruins; of architecture, the body and the mind.’
