Emerging young artist from Hong Kong who studies and lives in Nottingham, England. I have spent the last 10 years developing my artistic skills. I started off as a photographer, but have recently broadened my field of practice with various paintings, videos and animations. My theme currently circles around luck and probabilities, combining traditional techniques with modern high-tech technologies.

What You See Is What I Saw
Transition
Surface Gallery, Nottingham
1 May – 5 May 2007
PREVIEW 1st May 6pm – 8pm
Transition is the third of five exhibitions at the Surface Gallery as part of Rules of the Game. The exhibition showcases the work of 9 MA visual Art Students from Nottingham Trent University.
The exhibition examines the notion of play as a form of subversion and social critique through role, transition and creative appropriation. Through sonic washing machines to ‘Sandrea gets a date’ this presents a series of games, some sinister and some fun.
Transition features animations, visual projections, lenticular photography, slide shows, video installations and interactive game playing. Each artist has individually responded to the theme of transition in diverse and alterative ways.The private view night will reveal a whole host of audience interactive games giving the viewer an involvement of play, by creating music on the ‘sonic washing machine’, becoming the subject of an artist work or playing a dating board game with five other gallery visitors.
I performed a lenticular live installation on the opening night using the audience as the subject of my work. The resulting images are the smaller ones on either side.
By combining modern technology with traditional technique, my painting was heavily influenced by my photographic background. I used a digital image, taken by myself, to show the fundamentals of digital photography – the pixel. To represent the pixels, I chose to custom make a set of square wooden stamps, with the stamping technique resembling the traditional Chinese woodblock printing process. Each individual pixel has a unique vein pattern growing within itself, resulting in 4700 stamps in the room all blooming at the same time.
Theres only one room you want to stay when you ever go to Belgium Brussels –
Royal Crown Hotel Brussels room 332
The first creation from my MA course.
This is a 3D landscape of my garden created using 65 different inkjet prints mounted on foam board tiles.
A project at the end of last year saw me went a bit overboard with a strobe light.
Mixing movement of the performer with the motion of film. Creating a a series of still images representing a moving picture.
Thanks go to Dave and W3bby for performing in a pitch dark studio.
Apart from the comedy club, I also found time to visit a couple of places which are fairy useful for my upcoming projects.
The first was the national portrait gallery where they are currently exhibiting the photographic portrait prize. A showcase of photographs from professionals, students as well as amateurs.
The highlight of my visit however was not the photographic work, but a painting by Stuart Pearson Wright on J.K. Rowling. The painting was assembled from different parts to creat a 3D piece with a lightbox at the back.
The visit to the Imperial War Museum on sat was good, kinda wish I had more time there as there was so much to see. They also had a very infomative exhibition about the holocaust duing the WW2.
My short visit to London finished on a high with a tastie meal at an Indonesian restaurant call Nusa Dua on Dean Street. In the place there was this incredibly annoying woman next to us who tried to make the waiter to move them to a number of different tables. Maybe I was annoying her in some way or maybe I smelled funny. I had this urge to do stupid things (ie picking up my plate to lick it clean) all night just so that I could wind her up more.
Back to the food, the duck I had was soooo goood…. Thats all I need to say.
Oh and they bloody tried to charge me twice on my card… (who would pay as much tips as the meal cost).

Supprisingly this is the first time ever I’ve been to a comedy club, and I certainly enjoyed it very much.
I have to say that andrew lawrence was a little dissapointed, no guitar = no songs. Maybe my expectation was too high or he didnt seem to have enough stage time. However the opening and closing act were fantasic from Paul Tonkinson and Jason Whitehead. All link together in the funniest possible way by the MC – Ben Hurley.
Would definitely go again.
