Ngo's Architectural Absurdity*

I've been following Tom Ngo since his first solo exhibition three years ago.  His very imaginative "architectural drawings" always amaze me.  So I was totally disappointed when I knew that I was going to miss his July exhibition in Toronto when I would be travelling in Germany.  Thanks to W of LE Gallery!  When I visited his gallery last week, he pulled out from storage some of Ngo's exhibited drawings and pictures of Ngo's installation for me to see.  I could never thank him enough.
