Read an interview with the artist Andrew McPhail, who resides in Tallinn this fall as part of the Nordic Artist Exchange program.

“In Tallinn I’m hoping to connect with the arts community and help to create links between them and artists here in Hamilton,” McPhail tells me.

The exchange is made possible through Hamilton’s Cotton Factory, the Hamilton Arts Council and Esti Kunstnike, that is, the Estonian Artists’ Association.“
