“For Michael Snow – In Memoriam”: a site-specific installation for the At Home Gallery, Samorin, Slovakia, August-October, 2026. Conceived as a tribute to Michael Snow (1928-2023), this site specific installation explores the window as a threshold space, between inside and outside, presence and absence, life, and memory.

“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.”

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