CV
Working across mediums including photography, audio, installation and video, my practice focuses on how representation is used in image-making and how difference can be negotiated through perception/reception, and the materiality of photographs.
I hold a BSc (Biology) from McGill University and an MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, Bard College. My works are part of private and public collections including those of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan, Singapore Art Museum, Hong Kong Heritage Museum, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Art, Chau Chak Wing Museum, Sydney, and Mount Holyoke College Art Museum, USA. I have received awards such as the WMA prize (Hong Kong), and the Art Creation Fund (NAC SG), and my work has been the subject of academic articles in peer-reviewed journals including the Trans Asia Photography (TAP) Review and Southeast of Now, and art publications such as OSMOS and ArtAsiaPacific.
Recent solo exhibitions have been presented with institutions such as University of Sydney Verge Gallery and WMA Space (Abridge 2021), NUS Museum Singapore (Discordant Symmetries 2010-2011, Crossings 2018-2019), Australian National University CIW Gallery (The Other Shore, 2016), Chulalongkorn University Art Center (Convergence, 2012). Group exhibitions with spaces including National Gallery Singapore, ARTER Space for Art, Istanbul, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, Cemeti Art House, Yogyakarta, VER Gallery, Bangkok, and festivals such as the Asian Art Biennial (Taiwan), Daegu Photo Biennale (S. Korea) and Noorderlicht International Photo Festival (the Netherlands).
I have artist collaborations - Progressive Disintegrations (with Marc Gloede, Hilmi Johandi, and Chua Chye Teck, Singapore, 2020-present) and Sightlines (with Michelle Wong, C&G Artpartment, Lam Wing Sze, Kin Choi Lam, South Ho, Hong Kong, 2016-2019) where we work through ideas of communality and authorship through art and exhibition making. My research has been supported by academic institutions such as the Australian National University Centre on China in the World, School of Art and Inkjet Print Research Lab (for The Other Shore), University of Sydney China Studies Centre (Abridge) and through residencies and workshops with organisations such as the Vasl Artists' Association, Pakistan, Nanyang Technological University Centre for Contemporary Art (NTU CCA) Singapore, and Objectifs Centre for Photography and Filmmaking, Singapore.
My practice is informed by my work in education and the media industry as lecturer, photographer, and photo editor.
