Very much enjoyed my visit to Westminster Photography Arts MA grad Tarang Bharti's exhibition Pleat, Drape, Layer, Fold at LCF East Bank. His visits to the frozen North have yielded richly evocative conceptual work.

Still thinking about how much I enjoyed Dafna Talmor’s show The Moving Eye Cannot See at Sid Motion Gallery. The way she marks and slices the negatives to build her analog constructed landscapes creates wonderfully jazzy lines that make the compositions dance. Very pleasurable.
