Better late than never: here are some photos from our ‘Grafix’ show The Dorothy Pax bar. Featuring work by Luke Walsh, Sophie Ford, Maia Weerdmeister – and me! We were joined by the poets at ROMP on the opening night.

After a year of waiting for an excuse, I finally got an excuse to try out the risograph at @labiblioteka. It’s a lovely lo-fi format that sits in the middle of a ven diagram of screen and digital printing.
