New Projects – Summer 2021

Thanks to everyone at Arte Spazio Tempo for their work in putting the Chora exhibition in Venice together, I was thrilled with what I was able to see of it on Instagram.

This week I completed two new books: my second novel and my second collection of poetry. Both feel significantly different to their predecessors, and a lot of new ground has been covered. I’m excited to share them with you, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.

My next photoseries, Ascension, is complete, and I will be looking for a home for it in the coming months. You can find a few of the images on this website.

A new photoseries is in the works. Potentially significant parts of it will be shot in Moscow, covid-permitting.

Thank you for all the love for Chora, and I hope you are well, wherever you are in the world.
