Following her inclusion in Hypeart's Noisy Reality exhibition in New York, Heather Benjamin has unveiled a new solo show across the pond at Bim Bam Gallery in Paris. The works in Mother All I Did Was Want To Kill But Just Look At What I Broke were all made during Benjamin's residency at Le Biscuit atelier, just outside of the French capital.
