    The Interview Series #1: Mika Moret.

    After an impromptu summer siesta we're back with the first in what we hope will be a new interview series, brought to you by Gray & Jay!

    On this episode Gray is delighted to welcome Mika to the show to talk about her photography work, and current exhibition in the Corona Concept Gallery in Howth. Mika is a very talented and provocative artist currently living and working in Dublin City, originally hailing from Brazil. Throughout the interview Mika goes into detail on the themes and artistry of her self-portrait work, which leads to deeper discussions on mental health, identity, family life, immigrating to Ireland, as well as dealing with the pandemic and lockdown life.

    We also feature questions sent in from Jayme, at his current outpost in Dubai!

    Many many thanks to Mika, who was incredibly graceful when discussing her work and personal life.

    One of our main goals when holding these types of conversations is to create a positive, fruitful space for artists to discuss their work and hopefully act as a platform for such artists to gain more exposure. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or are interested in being featured in the future.

    Much Love, Gray & Jay.
