About the Exhibition ...
After Covid-19 lockdown, finding myself as an artist again was a difficult transformative process that brought me to where I am today. As my identity and my person change, my photography reflects on that change. As my voice got louder for social injustice and activism, printmaking gave me a way to bring out those issues into the gallery space and to the public.
