I first became acquainted with Marina all the way back in 2020. It seems both a lifetime and a mere blink of an eye ago when I opened my first exhibition here at the GBTH. During this time, I came to know Marina as an amazing artist, a mentor, and a friend. Her interview with me became the first in an ongoing series of texts that give artists a means of contextualising their work and practice on their own terms. Today, the first interview of the new GBTH will be written by me for an exhibition that Marina is opening on February 24th at 1pm SLT. NON-PERISHABLE is the exhibition that laid the groundwork for the GBTH to become what it is today. It is only right we return to where it all began." Read more on the blog.

"I know I wrote about Zakk Bifrandt just a few weeks ago when I highlighted his circus pictures. But I cannot let this stunning photo go unremarked. He was inspired by Loreena McKennitt’s “Caravanserai” [to listen, click here] to create this picture in Second Life and that is what he did." Read more on the blog.

"Black and white photography has a unique ability to capture the essence of a subject or scene in a way that is timeless and evocative. While color photography can be used to great effect to convey the vibrancy and emotion of a moment, black and white photography allows the viewer to focus on the image’s composition, form, and contrast. This interpretative role is what makes black-and-white photography so powerful and enduring." Read more on the blog.
