“Sense The Music” @acp.photo In Dialogue for 2020 is up! Excited to share what’s been keeping me busy the last few months. @ruthlessimagery and myself have become digital pen pals since February, it was an excellent project to share with each other in such crazy times, having the opportunity to dive into past work and develop new whilst conversing with Ruth on the other side of the world was a great journey. Very thankful to Allison Holland at the ACP for pulling this all together with not a fuss. Little interview with the @monsterchildren legends about the show and all info you need to know ~ in bio. #maclayheriot #ruthmedjber #australiancenterforphotography #acpsydney (at Australian Centre for Photography) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB2TZ4oBDfl/?igshid=1kyhu6i42jdxc

I stand in solidarity with the black community in the US, Australia and the world. The creative community must come together to support black voices who have have created and defined our music, Creativity and culture. It is my responsibility as a white member of society to listen, educate myself, donate, protest and not be silent. LISTEN.RESEARCH.DONATE.RACISM IS STILL TAKING LIVES. #silenceisviolence #paytherent (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6Vg_yh8TV/?igshid=cv5uuqnt3pl0
