These were exhibited recently in a group exhibition 'Chance Luck Accident'

My works explore the dialectical consequences between metaphorical representation and human behaviour. The illustrations are grounded in the natural structures of matter: the life cycle of a plant, the elements of mineral and the natural surroundings. These combinations produced an infinite series of possibilities during growth when the original structure adapts itself and gives birth to various diverse forms, all of the same family but dissimilar in copies. The outcome is dependent on what the owner sown and the surroundings that he intends to put in. The diversity signifies a sign of life that appears out of randomness, yet any similarities are unintentional.

allowing my random illustrations to invade my workspace...

One of the thing that I have always wanted to do is to fill the wall at my workspace with illustrations I did randomly over the years. These illustrations are deliberately cut-out and pasted overlapping each other on the wall. Like a virtual visual diary of mine coming to life. Also an opportunity to showcase my works without having to pay for the high rental; and no need to beg the arts council for any funding...

Art is Science, Science is Art

This piece of work was a collaboration work with my son, Russell. Here is a short write up on the work describing the idea and concept behind. The work aims to illustrate the importance of stereochemistry using the chemical Thalidomide as an example. Thalidomide is an oral medication first prescribed in West Germany in 1957 for insomnia, morning sickness and anxiety. A few years later, it was discovered to have caused a significant amount of birth defects in infants when consumed during pregnancy, affecting approximately 10,000 babies, of which 40% did not survive. Subsequent research showed that Thalidomide exists in two forms (isomers) instead of just one, where they differed in their three-dimensional orientations. This concept is known today as Stereoisomerism, where two forms of the same molecule (enantiomers) appear as mirror images of each other, but are non-superimposable. Enantiomers exist as racemic mixtures, where each form is present in equal amounts in a mixture. An ...
