San Francisco Time

I’ve recently completed a month long bike tour and am now resettling into the bay area. It’s nice to be back after an incredible trip, as well as two amazing years in Los Angeles.

I attended a wonderful residency/workshop in Belgrade, Serbia and Istanbul, Turkey from August 20 - September 8. 100 young artists from around the world gathered to discuss their work and mount an exhibition. We were present for the opening of the Istanbul Biennial, as well.
