I THINK Print - Limited Edition of 40

In 2013 I opened up my first studio/gallery space in China. Working in a variety of media, with a focus on silk screen printing, I began exploring my own working practice, while connecting to and collaborating with a number of artists and creatives in Chengdu City. My personal work in this period spanned multiple mediums including solo/group exhibits and curation of a number of group shows and events (2013-2019). Whichever media/medium I find myself working in, my first intention is always to find ways in which to connect with people in some new way, in an attempt to alter perspectives, both real and imagined. I may also on occasion be looking to provoke, though only ever with the aim of starting a conversation. Communication of ideas is where my personal curiosity lives. My initial works in China centered on iconography, as I sought ways to both empasise and deconstruct the power of recognisable imagery and icon (I was also having fun with people's reactions). As I've continued to experiment, more recent works have centered around language, with a recent exhibit 'Failure to Communicate' (2019) investigating social context bias (Dual Inheritance Theory). I've been very much enjoying the process of honing thoughts and observations down into concise, often prose like structure, transforming these texts into visual, sometimes abstract imagery.
