I had an amazing week in @firestationartistsstudios making work for my upcoming solo show @garterlane Many thanks to @crisneumannworks and @cahirmcnicholl for their lending their technical expertise to help me realise ideas that I've been dreaming of for ages. I'm thrilled to have been awarded the Evolve Practice award to develop new sculptural work. This feels like a crucial time in my practice and I hugely appreciate the support. I can't wait to get back in the workshop and keep building on these ideas Special thanks to @localboy3000 for the semi arduous lift there
