Michael said: “The Freelands Fellowship offers a unique and life-changing opportunity to develop my practice while gaining valuable hands-on teaching experience at the 茄子视频's School of Art and Media.

“Art schools are unique and energetic environments that nurture the evolution and learning of creative individuals; special places, where dynamic systems of exchange take place, providing a combination of education, opportunity and network. I aim to use the fellowship to build on the idea of exchange and the importance of creating a deeper dialogue within our creative communities.”

Speaking about his role as this year's Freelands Fellowship mentor, Alexander Pollard said: “We are really looking forward to working with Michael. Michael's work is really interesting and we felt that his character would work well with our students. He's engaging, cares a lot about painting, and offers a different perspective too. I think he will enjoy the experience at Brighton, and contribute a lot to the diverse culture of learning within our department."
