COS Artwalk – Colours of Stokey – Festival
In 2013 myself with local artists and designers exhibited our work in shops and venues all over Stoke Newington and Dalston (London) for one month for the first COS Artwalk – Colours of Stokey. I decided to create new pieces of work on large canvases (90cm x 140cm) based on the subject of power in society, be it the use or abuse.
