Awards - 2007 – Musashino Art University Scholarship
I attained a scholarship to live and study in Tokyo at the Musashino Art University in Japan from Nottingham Trent University. I had the opportunity to learn Japanese and to speak it daily. My practice is informed by the experience of language, it’s restrictions, it’s beauty and power.
