Words

This is my first Mother's Day without my mom.  She was in the hospital this time last year, and I was still able to visit and feed her everyday.  This was one of the many music videos we watched together when she was in her hospital bed.  Mom, I miss you so much.

There's An Architectural Solution To Every Mathematical Problem

Toronto's Crescent School celebrates the arts every spring with their one-evening-only event LUNA.  For this year's iteration, LUNA Orbit, which took place two days ago, I presented my project There's An Architectural Solution To Every Mathematical Problem.  The highlight of the project is a site-specific floor installation of tape drawing, which unintentionally but aptly reminds you of Sol LeWitt's sculptures.






Sorry for the delay today.  I tried to upload some videos of the installation but Blogger didn't let me.  So I had to settle for some screen shots.

BX Dufferin

Bau-Xi Gallery has acquired another gallery space in Toronto.  I got a chance to visit their new space recently - a beautiful space particularly good for showing large-scale work.
