Randomness in Focus

Willesden Gallery, 95 High Rd, London
Exhibition
15/10/2024 to 26/10/2024

They could be a tiny scuff on a wall or pavement; cracked plaster on a tube station platform, paint drips or smudges on his easel or studio floor. These marks trigger my mind and take me to another place and I hope others have the same experience too when seeing my work.
