The 1st October marked 20 years since the installation of the 'ULU Portraits' artworks at University of London Union in 2005. Based on 50 portraits of #UoL students to celebrate ULU's 50th anniversary. Thank you to all the students who posed! #student #portraits #timecapsule #ULU

From first seeing it with no walls or door, to today moving into my 3rd studio of the year, and hopefully my last studio move for a long time. I'm thrilled to be part of the new chapter for @kindredstudios_
I'm looking forward to getting to work and welcoming visitors! #studio
