“A refreshingly different approach to an arts residency?a memorable mixed media installation with a very human face. He brought new visitors to the museum and struck a chord with people from many different backgrounds?His residency was a motivating and energising process for all involved… I can recommend him unhesitatingly to other organisations seeking a different approach to the integration of community, arts and cultural activities.”
