Hello.
i met you at Hidden last weeken and am just sending an email to sayI loved your work – it was one of my favourite in the show and that wasn’t just becuase I could enjoy yours without rain and drench. I loved the concept and the integration of your work into the chapel the placement created the sense of memorial and also triggered the connection to my own salvaged recording of my deceased father. I haven’t located it yet, but i would be happy to try to find it and contibute to future works.
