2016-2017 was a chapter in life shared between Moscow, London and briefly Hong Kong. I was documenting it in a wide variety of mediums ranging from collage of found free leaflets and silkscreen printing to painting with enamels and vitrail paints on sheets of aluminium and foil. I was searching for my medium and voice and and my place in the city streams of great capitals.
