On a visit to Beijing I created a project experimenting with placing hidden images in public spaces. I used an old optical illusion technique, placing hidden images on patterns of traditional Chinese flower paintings, then placed the patterns in public spaces around Beijing. The hidden images show recent and past democratic uprisings as well as logos and symbols of some of the things the Chinese government controls access to on the Internet.

Shown in Collage Panic, a group show at With Space, Beijing, 2012.

Installation made during the residency at the Gwangju Museum of Art, 2012. Oknyeo-bong, or Jade Maiden Peak, is a hill on the edge of Gwangju. In local folklore, a spirit there stole masculinity from men and empowered women.

"The past should be altered by the present as much as the present is directed by the past." (T.S. Eliot) An interactive video installation using a blue screen. Two figures appear on the screen. One is the present and the other is the past. Through gentle manipulation they can touch, push and change each other's position on the screen. How do your past moves affect your present?
