ABOUT ME
I work as a technician at South London Gallery, i also help out at Auto Italia South East - an artist run organisation in south london > www.autoitaliasoutheast.org where i have a studio space to work on my own artworks and bits of research.
I moved to london 4 yrs ago to study painting which i graduated last june. Since then i have been pretty busy with projects and exhibitions which has been really good. I would like to do a masters in the next couple of years, hopefully in Rotterdam. I read alot of cultural/art theory and bits of philosophy. I like to talk about politics and cultural theory, i like bicycles.
PHILOSOPHY
too early to say!
i try to get on with people as much as possible, and learn from them about how people think and live.

Interests
I like cycling. me and my house mate are going to cycle from london to paris soon. I really like reading a lot; mostly western philosophy, cultural theory and art theory. I would like to write, but i am still quite scared of writing! and havent done much.
