MONGOLIAN EXHIBITION –

Following a tip to Mongolia with a group of artists everyone came together in the creation of this exhibition. Each artist told the story of their experiences through a variety of works such as screen printing, photography, paintings, drawings, diaries, sculpture and Mongolian cultural purchases that in combination made this a unique and interesting exhibition.

My piece was titled ‘Life and Landscapes’, made up of a series of photographs and drawings of the landscape and Mongolian people making the whole piece.

Some of my work can be found on my blog with some interesting bits and pieces 

With my little point and shoot camera I panned around the room a couple of times, editing out the worst of it.  Follow the link and the password is : mexhibition108
