Precisely is a tribute to my late father, architect and artist, Hans Lorraine.
The exhibition is a personal reflection on my father's qualities of resourcefulness and invention and the modest collection of possessions he left behind, combined with my ongoing interest in models and cultural artefacts. The works in the show are precisely crafted in celebration of a gentle and creative life.
