4th - 12th December 2021 Modern life is too complex for me! As an experiment in simplification I intend to rid myself of all my possessions and document the process for later artworks.

1st - 13th June 2022 I will be visiting Japan for the first time in summer 2022. My itinerary will take in Tokyo and several cities in search of appropriate galleries and museums to exhibit my work.
