sometimes I like to be proper, other times I like not to be

"In this new series of work I am exploring my liking of the sampler format, both it's aesthetic qualities and socio-cultural implications.

This will be shown in the Jewellery Box at Masterworks Gallery in Auckland from 26 June - 16 July 2008.
