\\New Time Zone//Purchase College\\New York//

February 5, 2012
As part of my studies in Edinburgh I have been fortunate to gain a place at Purchase College, New York on exchange.  So with a lot of my work my environment really impacts on my work and New York from the word go has given my eyes enough inspiration.  Unlike in Edinburgh I am able to mis my choice of electives and focus here at Purchase so whilst learning some new skills which will help my contemporary practice I am also able to learn some skills which I have been itching to do so that will further my illustration.  I am currently getting a chance to do woodcut and lithography which I am already seeing potential for future work.  

Here are some photos of recent trips into the city seeking inspiration for current work and projects..
