Earlier this year, I exhibited my photographic painting Crocus Vernus (2024) as part of the 2025 Cambridge Arts Festival. The exhibition took place from 10–19 February on the first floor of the city's Grand Arcade, showcasing a diverse collection of contemporary works by artists from across Cambridgeshire.
I created Crocus Vernus four months earlier during my residency with AA2A (Artists Access to Art Colleges) at Cambridge School of Art. The piece was one of four large scale works that later made up my solo show ‘With Edges Like Glass’ at Cambridge Artworks in November 2024. You can read more about that exhibition and its inspirations here.

Alongside the exhibition, the festival featured a dynamic programme of workshops, talks, and interactive installations, all of which are represented in the video below.
