Life on MARS

Hi, hope you're going well!

You are officially invited to my upcoming exhibition, The Little Things Are The Big Things, opening at MARS Gallery this Saturday August 10 from 4pm to 6pm! 

This is my fourth solo show with MARS Gallery and features an exciting new development in my practise, a new series of large-scale shopping lists hand-painted on sculpted aluminium!

By elevating the humble post-it note on this scale it playfully ponders the notion that often in life the little things are the big things.

Here's a little photo from the big day installing the show.
