EXODUS

In 2016 I came across an old Buddhist Prayer box meant to keep precious prayer books safe.  I soon realised that this lovely worn box full of history could be part of a new artist book inspired by a serious issue. The huge increase in the flood of migrants seen since late 2015 and the many obstacles these poor people have to overcome has inspired me to a series of  prints and several artist book.

'EXODUS' has been juried through to the 8th International Artist's Book Triennial Vilnius 2018 and will in the years to come tour the world.
