Like tripping with someone you love- ‘Sahmbol Khum’ presents its listener with a sense of wholeness and intense surrender to the sublime. It transitions from

His works are predominately large-scale oil paintings which demand attention in an endearing and uplifting manner- just as Harry does when he enters a room, with his energetic and attentive presence. Abstract art is infamous for being closely criticised, judged and torn apart in an attempt for it to be ‘understood’- but with the title of this exhibition explaining the body of work so simply and effectively, it allowed people to internalise and perceive the works how they pleased- without taking

It’s four in the morning and I am forced awake by the piercing pain —the pain I know so well. It starts and spreads all over my pelvis, then the dreaded, piping-hot dagger reaches inside of me, spreads the pain upwards through my abdomen and down my thighs. Ah, yes — here we go again. I am alone and I know there’s nothing I can do but wait. I grab my knees, my hips, my tummy and rock back-and-forth and side-to-side like a turtle on its back, squirming around anxiously. I whisper multiple profan

The taxi comes to a halt outside Gimme Shelter, an underground rock’n’roll bar in Canggu, Bali. The booze I consumed pulses through my bloodstream and my fried eyes sting and grow heavy with cheap mascara. My lashes crash, reopen, crash. Unsteady and unsure, my frantic fingers get lost inside my wallet and tangle around my perplexing wad of rupiahs. I pay the driver, thanking him, then hop out of the car and head over to the bar’s brooding entrance, which looks like a refurbished bat cave. I lo
