An exhibition of printmaking student work is currently on display in the AUD campus gallery. A selection of prints from the semester have been matted and framed, accompanied by a written explanation of process. Students have explored a wide range of techniques, including monotype, collagraph, linocut, drypoint, chine collé, stencil, and screen print.
I recently had a chance to spend some time in the studio making some new screen prints before demonstrating the technique to my class. I like the designs, based on some of my old sketches, so for the next bit of free time I have, I would like to get back in there and explore more color combinations.
I am currently one of twenty UAE-based artists chosen to represent Etihad Airlines in their 20th Anniversary Exhibition, United in Time. They selected my ink brush and linocut piece, Wave, which will be digitally displayed in the Abu Dhabi airport and will be physically exhibited at the Kempinski Hotel in the Mall of the Emirates. My work and process is also featured in the Etihad announcement video.
On Sunday, February 18, at 3pm, I’ll be having a conversation about the end of the world at Zerzura Books in Alserkal Avenue. I’ll start by speaking about topics from my book The End is at Hand with shop owner Alex Warren, then we’ll open up the discussion to attendees about their thoughts and curiosities. It’s meant to be fun, open, and thought-provoking.

I recently had a fun and wide-ranging conversation with Daniel Glenn from Fascinating Nouns about the end of the world. We talk about doomsday cults, Mouse Utopia, Chicken Little, and how we are just nine missed meals from total anarchy.
