Universal Metropolis
A survey of recent works including a large panoramic collage and digital painting of the Horse Guards Parade redesigned, smaller ink and pen drawings, and knife drawing constructions that function both as maquettes for large installations and smaller works in their own right.Vertical Mirrors
Surfacing into a kaleidoscope of buildings and their reflections, like the ghost of Christmas future hovering over to watch and encompass me, I had stepped out from the Metro, from the MTR, from the Subway, into The City. Central, with a heart of glass, and metal, and stone, effortlessly oozing a sophisticated urbanity on the surface, while beneath this churns a ceaseless circulation of digits, information and deals. Speaking of now and tomorrow, of make or break and the deal that as dusk dawns, all will be transformed into a myriad light show. A spectacle of the finest, a place of dreams, of Peninsula and Plaza hotels, vibrancy and fascination, read the tourism brochures, it's the majesty of the tallest, a cosmopolitan city. A city of the twenty first century. Entering my past I'd returned to a here and now, to arrive at a place which would soon be the city I'd just came from. Here? Where? Everywhere. Where East meets West. Where we are now. New York: 11 - Hong Kong: 05 - San Francisco: 09 - Dubai: 05 - London: 00.

Sharjah International Biennial 6
For the Sharjah Biennial 6, two installations were presented in one of the exhibition spaces of the Sharjah Art Museum: "East by Northwest" and "[Title Unknown]". A third work, "Memorial Clock [Mirage]", was installed in the reception stairwell and main entrance into the museum.Casting an eye at the changing interplay of the East and West and the rapid economic development and growth of Eastern nations, "East by Northwest", made from brochures and posters advertising real estate, travel, mobile phone networks, communications equipment and international monetary organizations, was comprised 120 origami boxes. Some apparently on stilts, with legs of toothpicks and bamboo skewers, appearing to crawl across the exhibition floor space and terrain of a specifically constructed platform.
"[Title Unknown]", comprising a loosely hung 1 meter strip of torn wallpaper suspended over a narrow shelf, a partially open packing crate and several unopened rolls of the wallpaper, each with the same repeat image of a passport photo placed in a box as it's design and stamped with the word "sample", explores the transitory state of inhabiting within the inheritance of identity, place and belonging.
A 60 minute video piece filmed as a single stationary shot of an earlier work, the original Memorial Clock (2000), "Memorial Clock [Mirage]" features the backwards clock captured between the hours of 1 O'clock and 12 O'clock and presented as a loop in time.
