Exhibitions
My in-depth bodies of works are developed over long periods of time, and my in-depth shows are limited and several years apart. These shows are interspersed with performances, pop-ups and occasional group shows, all of which form a part of - while also giving a glimpse into - my practice. A practice which at its core is research based.
I enjoy exploring unexpected spaces in which to communicate my art. I am generally inquisitive about people and wish to connect with wide audiences. I actively seek out alternative spaces in addition to ‘white cube’ galleries and institutions in which to disseminate my art. Spaces that are regularly frequented by people from cross generations and cultures, that have the potential to reach those who perhaps wouldn’t otherwise engage in art are of increasing relevance to my work. My belief is that any piece of art that has an inherent value of and within itself, a piece worthy of exhibiting, does not cease to be art, nor does it lose its inherent value when experienced in an unexpected space.
