A vibrant scene o fmay people all on their phones, many looking worried, that Abraham took in Singapore inside the bus. What might Thompson make of it?

So great that i managed to see Thompson’s exhibition in Holborn in person. I had so wanted to come and chance would have it that i got a lift to London. It’s so imporatnat that we support each other and our artists are already reflecting on each other’s work and making work in response to each other, which is what can happen on a residency, working together so closely towards a shared exhibition.  One of the photos shows a possible scene from inside a bus in Singapore, to see if Thompson might make something that is based on life in the streets moving from a to b in Singapore
