The past year has had me thinking about the potential of art within the dynamics of the wider society, especially in light of the pandemic.

Here is a sketch of ‘Parenthesis (Monumentum)’, which is developed concurrently with the events of Thailand’s state hostilities against their own citizens. This work will be shown at the Jim Thompson Art Centre in Bangkok. There is also a diptych that I have been working on for another show in a disused Stasi building in Leipzig. These works represent an evolution in my practice away from a heavier emphasis on a work’s experiential aspect. Now, I am employing more texts and I aspire to express some kind of hope in these works.
