Since then he has held fellowships in the International Studio Program at PS1 in Queens and the British School in Rome. His exhibition, "Treasures of New York," led to solo exhibitions at the ICA in Philadelphia, the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin, the Drawing Room in New York, and Littlejohn Contemporary. His work is collected in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, British Council, Imperial War Museum, National Gallery of Ireland, Ulster Museum, and Victoria and Albert Museum. He lives in London.
