Verso Nuovi Canoni (Towards New Canons) – Ceramics and Contemporary Art In Great Britain curated by Tommaso Corvi Mora at ICA Milano, Milan. 

I exhibited 'Flex' as part of the collective exhibition including six contemporary British artists who use ceramic as their main medium. Works by Sam Bakewell, Tommaso Corvi Mora, Matthew Warner, Bethan Lloyd Worthington and myself.
