How did showing in the exhibition impact your career as an artist?
“The impact of a given exhibition is generally hard to quantify. I think it would be fair to say that the award and the show had an indirectly positive impact on my career in that I was able to include the show and the award on my CV. Demonstrating an ability to win awards and secure exhibitions is part of how you win further awards and secure further exhibitions.”
