KERRY JAMES MARSHALL – THE HISTORIES
Blacker than black with layers of complexity and richness. Our history loud and full, quiet and beautiful. I couldn’t love this exhibition any more than I do, so much so, I saw it twice in one day then went back the next day to see it again. I stood in awe and was moved to…

ELTON JOHN & DAVID FURNISH AT THE V&A
I wasn’t going to attend this exhibition, I’ve no idea why, but it simply was not on my radar to attend but I am glad I found myself in London with some free time to play away at the V&A which is my favourite museum in the UK. This is a stunning and rich and…

Suspended States addresses the suspension of boundaries, whether psychological, physical, or geographical — all boundaries of nationhood are in a state of suspense.
