Up Up and away...

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to actually be allowed up into the sky. Tis one hell of a view up there...

'Neither'

Kate Nolan's 'Neither', a beautiful body of work that document's the lives of the woman of Kaliningrad (a Russian enclave in Europe). 'Neither' delicately records the experiences, hopes and dreams of these young women. Check out the video as Kate explains it far more eloquently than I ever could. 

'Neither' is currently in it's final stages of completion. Funds are currently being raised for it's publication on IndieGoGo . Please help support this wonderful project, your kindness will be well rewarded with anything from postcards, to a copy of the book itself.

Due to Popular Demand

 

'Ok, the Finissage thing has turned into a bit of a non sequitur as the show is so popular that we're extending the run for a week in the main space before moving it upstairs to the Archive Gallery where it will run until May 23rd' - The Copper House 

Nice one!
