After a long, strange spring, I am so grateful to have been invited to participate in So Close So Good at Numeroventi, in Florence. The exhibition brings together a selection of Florence-based artists to reflect on questions of borders, the local versus the global, and how our respective art practices will move forward from here. Visit the virtual exhibition here, or schedule an in-person viewing by contacting Numeroventi.
