A successful opening night!. There were many great discussions and thoughts surrounding my works. It was inspiring and encouraging to be amongst you all. A special thank you to Sonja and Marc.
I am very excited to announce my solo exhibition in Berlin.
Visual Rhythms opens on the 17th September and the exhibition continues till the 8th October.
It is being held at RIPA.FRIES in Mitte Berlin, a jewellery studio, shop and art gallery.
Visual Rhythms will present a selection of work I have been producing in Berlin at Rooftop Studios, focused on scultural structures made from timber, paper and projected light. The projected light is interactive either with audio or camera, and will react and reflection people in the gallery. There will also be some additional works on canvas with ink linework and projected light and various sketches on paper showing the process of the developing the more finished works.
There will hopefully be a webcast of the opening for those unable to be in Berlin. more info to follow regarding this.
I would like to thank Sonja Fries and On-yau for making this possible, you’re encouragement was inspirational in helping me realise this dream

This week is Berlin fashion week, fashion victims are wandering the streets day and night, feeding off free alcohol and appetisers. and I have joined this little procession for a moment.. although my wardrobe is rather limited compared to the rest i think.. but i like it that way. So far i have visited with friends, Butterfly soulfire short film event, great edgy art film with soundtrack by Apparat and Ripa Fries a jewellery atelier launch of new art/jewellery works. Tonight is a Japanese related opening, followed the next night by and International food evening.. hmm must come up with something to cook for that one…
Here are some things I’m working on now, clouds, graffiti, sky, moon, environment, money, consumption and others
