Many thanks to Flinders Lane Gallery for a great experience, to Canberra Arts Patrons Organisation for assisting with the creation of new work for this exhibition (through the 2014 McGrath Emerging Artist Award) and to Arjen Romeyn for his incredible assistance and support (especially with the Thunder-Rush Rapid concertina book construction). I really appreciated everyone taking the time to visit/enjoy the exhibition in person and/or online! I'm already busy with some new projects and plans that I look forward to sharing soon :)
