My boss is hosting a conference night at Gazelli Arthouse, which is the gallery where she’s currently resident.

During my entire DPS, I have been also keeping up with my tattooing business when I’m not travelling and based in London. This is just a usual part of my life as a part-time job for some basic income and supporting myself for other unpaid creative jobs. It is quite unstable due to off-seasons in…

I went back to China to assist my artist with the new upcoming show in Shanghai, while also helping with installations for an expo in Singapore (where the installations will be shipped).

After two calls with my artist throughout the week, the progress on the art book for this show has been paused. On the first call, my artist informed me that the text could not be finalised yet since it had to go through verification by some authorities in China to be exhibited or published. I…
