I’m delighted to be able to announce that the book version of my Modern Romance project, Alone Together, Together Alone, is now available to be ordered in the US as well as from the UK. The US version is slightly different, being an inch taller (10″ x 8″ vs UK’s 10″ x 7″), with an updated introduction and bio, redressing the missing credit for my collaborator and life partner, Margaret Haggerty, without whom the project would not have been possible.
If you’re in Southeast England this weekend (6-7th of December), please come see me – I’ll be at the Brighton Art Book Fair at the Evoke / Provoke Collective table with my UCA course-mate, Mingyi Sung.
I’ll be offering copies, hot off the presses, of my new book, Alone Together, Together Alone: a modern romance, as well as some lovely mounted 7×5″ prints, ready to frame – they’d make excellent gifts, if I do say so myself.
If you’ll be in London next weekend, please do stop by and see our pop-up exhibition of works-in-progress from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm Saturday and Sunday (7th – 8th of June) at the Lambeth County Courts, Cleaver Street, Kennington, London SE11 4DZ.
‘Evoke/Provoke’ showcases the work of seven recent MFA Photography graduates from the University for the Creative Arts. From Ambhore’s ‘Death Over Indignity’, an exploration of caste-based discrimination in India to Cooper’s investigation of her mixed-race heritage in ‘Warm Olive’, this exhibition offers a diverse exploration of the human condition.
Holland’s ‘Between Worlds’ delves into the interactions between the real, virtual, and alternate worlds, while Isler’s ‘Insomnia’ focuses on the challenges of aging and loneliness in long-term couples. Hart’s ‘ 92,000,000,000’ expose the disconnect between meat consumption and animal suffering, and Pattni’s ‘May You Not Get Evil Eye’ explores her Indian heritage through recreated cultural rituals. Sung’s ‘Looking for Nirvana’ reveals her personal journey of exploring non-monogamy and confronting childhood trauma.
Through personal narratives and critical methodologies, these emerging artists aim to provoke thought, spark dialogue, and inspire change
If you find yourself in the Farnham (Surrey) area over the next couple of weeks please stop by the University and see the show. Contact me if you’d like to meet and I can give you the 5p tour.
If you can make it to Woking (about ½-hour train ride from London) in the next month (from 13th January to 11th of February) please come to the Lightbox to see the University for the Creative Arts’ MFA Photography Year 2 show. I’d be happy to meet you almost anytime during the month to talk about my work.
If you’re in London either of the next 2 weekends you can come see some of my new works as part of Sydenham Arts’ Artists Trail 2023. Here’s a link to their artists page (I appear in alphabetical order by my first name with full details of times and venue) and the event main page. Below are images from the series that will be presented at the show. (Unfortunately, I’ll be in the US over both weekends so I won’t be there myself.) Click on any of the pictures below to see them full-screen (you may need to click through via the post-title, above, if you’re reading this in an email or on social media).
