“The personal and the historical converge beautifully in Ambrose’s work, highlighting how fiction can preserve cultural memory and revive lost truths. As readers immerse themselves in this richly woven narrative, they are invited not just to witness history but to feel a part of it—heralding hope in the face of adversity and making the past a living, breathing entity within contemporary discourse. Such works remind us that history is not a fixed narrative but an evolving dialogue that connects generations.”
Nancy Park Hall, “Whispers of History”, 30/06/25

I was interviewed on Talk Radio Europe (28/05/2025) on the publication of my first novel “The Grandfather Paradox”.

A single screen version of my video “Nothing Beside Remains” will be screened at the “Ca Foscari Short Film Festival” in a programme of recent UK work entitled “Lo Sguardo Sospenso” (“The Suspended Look”), curated by Elisabetta Di Sopra & Laura Leuzzi.

I will be a keynote speaker at the First International Conference on Creative Arts (ICCA), taking place in the College of Art & Design, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan, Jan 27th-29th, 2025.


Nothing Beside Remains
The work was shot at Xlendi Bay, Gozo and originally presented in a continuous repeating looped sequence in a site-specific installation at Valletta Contemporary as part of my exhibition Meta Landscapes, April-June 2022. The sound track is Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel (1978), performed by Leonard Roczek (cello) and Herbert Schuch (piano).

Double Acts: Collaborative Partnerships in Early Artists’ Video
Curated by CM-A for Rewind.
I am currently on a month-long residency at Wallace Stegner House in Eastend, Saskatchewan. I am here to trace my grandfather’s 5 year sojourn in Western Canada. He arrived in Eastend, age 26 in Sept 1922 intending to begin a new life farming on the Canadian prairies.




I am exhibiting a new wall-based video installation in the Woolwich Open, Thames-Side Studios, June 15th-23rd.
