“Hi Derek, I hope you are well. It was a long time ago! I was delighted with the SHP show, and it reflected well on the amazing studio visit. All felt like a total work of art: one installation. With best wishes, Outi.”  Dr. Outi Remes, Director, New Ashgate Gallery, and former Director, SHP Art Centre. August 2023.
