Colony Life

This series tells stories about gender equality; women face a persistent gap in access to opportunities in most aspects of life. The fate of female bees inspires this series of ceramics. Worker bees are all female. The queen bee is the only female bee in the hive that gets to reproduce. The male bee's only job is to spread the genes of their colony. They leave the territory every day in search of potential new queens looking to mate.

Borneo

The ceramic sculptures contrast with the paintings, as their physical nature allows the abstract to come through more clearly. There is results flow from the art process, from the touch of the clay. Though born of the same travel memories; the artist’s hometown - Borneo, the new impressions are created during the making of the artwork.

Femina Extravaganza

This exhibition explores the body as a site of struggle, consumption projected to media, society, culture, and further investigates ‘femina’ as an extraterritorial space that can embrace those bodies that identity as female but not woman, or as woman but not female; those bodies that have lived through femininity but not womanhood, or through womanhood but not femininity.

Garden Soul

Garden Soul draws upon fairy tales, fables and childhood memories, creating a visual poem to navigate the relationship between the human and natural worlds. Though the artist has left her childhood home of gardens in full bloom, she continues to explore the imaginary narratives that live within and around us.
