PANDEMONIUM
Sat 4 Oct 2025 – Sat 25 Oct 2025
Opening Reception Sat 11 Oct 2025 2PM-4PM
My current body of work explores the movement and interaction of birds, captured through layered lines that mimic the visual rhythm of time-lapse imagery. Each bird is drawn with fidelity to its original form, yet as they pass through one another, they generate new and unintended shapes and forms, born from the intersection of motion and presence.
This process results in what I think of as a controlled mess; a tension between precision and chaos, structure and spontaneity. Though each lines originates from an identifiable subject, their convergence forms something larger and more abstract; a record of time, of space shared, and the complexity that arises when singular paths overlap.
These works reflect my interest in how individual elements can maintain their integrity while also contributing to a collective pattern, one that is dynamic and unpredictable.

Concession Stand
Every Sunday – Until Sun 3 Aug 2025
“SORRY” can’t make it all right… but “SORRY” can help make it alright…
Here’s a space to imagine what it might feel like, if you got the apology you needed,
or spoke the words you longed to give for wrongs done, or misunderstandings that bubbled up and took root.
Window Shopping
Sat 9 Aug 2025
Opening Reception Sat 9 Aug 2025 6PM-8PM
Window Shopping is an installation that reimagines the traditional butcher’s display as a commentary on the aesthetics of meat, consumption and violence. The exhibit features ceramic replicas of meat (sausages, ribs, steak etc) displayed both on plinths and suspended from chains in the Plate Glass gallery. This mirrors the visual appeal of a butcher’s elaborate display while critiquing the ethical and cultural implications of purchasing slaughtered animal bodies. When the butcher shop display is removed from its usual context and placed in the gallery space, pedestrians are given the opportunity to question meat’s presence and origin—an inquiry that might not have occurred in its typical setting.
