L - R: Lethal Landscape and Drone Spiral 2
It is nearly six weeks since I last posted. This is the longest absence since starting my blog in August 2006. I normally post about once a week, but I have been busy!
Firstly, for three weeks, my exhibition Occupied Landscapes: Evidence of Drones consumed my time. The show went really well, with lots of people to talk to, sales, and invitations to participate in a couple of events. Once I have more details about the events I will let you know.
Thank you to everyone who came along to see Occupied Landscapes: Evidence of Drones
I have uploaded quite a few photographs of the exhibition.
