Borders
This is my postcard submission for a cooperative exhibition between Loft and Meet&Go in Strasbourg, France. The theme for the exhibition is "Borders". The end of my residency in Taipei, where this work was made, ended up being a very political and emotional time for both Taiwan and myself. Protests in the capital were close to home - so close in fact that police brutality broke out on 23 March outside our front door, which was located across the street from the Executive Yuan. The series consists of drawings of urban plans or maps of Zhongshan district and then bullets are fired through the 300lb paper.

The Promise That Tomorrow Made Yesterday
Work that I made in Cambodia this spring titled "The Promise That Tomorrow Made Yesterday" has been showing at the Stantec Window Gallery. They've been really wonderful to work with and it's been a great opportunity. I would like to acknowledge funding support from the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario.
