Extending time, 2020
Ink & jik stencil prints on notebook paper.
These 35 pages - representing the first 35 days of lockdown - were an attempt to calendarize and process the unpredictable and paradoxical time of Covid-19.
These ‘unprecedented times’ have turned our whole world upside down and disrupted our previous understanding and experience of normality. Time itself has taken on new meaning and lost its measure, and we seem to be living in contradiction: being apart but together; isolated and alone yet united in struggle; going nowhere but having to keep moving forward; pervaded with negative news, yet also witnessing new forms of kindness; the world seems to be at a standstill but growth, in many forms, is also extending.

(Book project) Scrim, thread, ink, mixed media
This book project is an investigation into how meaning is constructed, how things become obsolete, and how knowledge is extracted, manipulated and given power in society. Through various material manifestations, I aimed to disrupt the structural integrity of books and documents as conventional sources of knowledge and power, and thus call into question our underlying methods of understanding and notions of truth.

The book of meaninglessness [interactive], 2020
Inks on scrim. Part of 'A collection of incomplete works'.
This work references Ecclesiastes – a historical philosophical document written by what many consider one of the wisest men on earth. As the author of this book looks at the futility of life and how there is “nothing new under the sun”, this collection also explores the notion of meaninglessness through visibility, repetition and translation. Whilst we may continuously attempt to fill in the gaps and fit all the pieces of this world together, we can never fully know and understand it - what a marvellous, humbling and freeing thought.
