CURRENT MISSION

To visit Documenta(13) in Kassel Germany

ABOUT ME

I'm currently on a 6 week Artists Residency at the Fondazione Fotographia in Modena, Italy. I've spent the last few weeks getting to know the city and the people that live here and am reluctant to leave. I've totally fallen for the place, the pace of life, the food, the wine and obviously the weather. Mainland Europe just seems to have the life/work balance just right as rather than living to work its about working to live and i think thats how it should be.
Before i head back home i want to spend a couple of days visiting Germany. First in Frankfurt and eventually find my way to Kassel for Documenta(13) (hopefully with a few new companions i've met along the way) before returning to Milan to fly back to the UK.
I'm Incredibly passionate about the Visual Arts, since graduating i have been working in galleries, teaching and as a photographer.
I'm keen to share my experience and skills with any Hosts/Surfers that want to improve there holiday snaps and preserve there CS memories.

PHILOSOPHY

To relish every opportunity that comes your way and do everything no matter what it might be to the best of your ability.
