Port of Reflections
Watch the rowboats bobbing on water and you will imagine a jetty has appeared in the gallery space. In fact, however, there is no water, and the images that appear to be reflected in water are part of a sculpture made from the same material as the boat above.

The Classroom
A new work to be produced for this show, The Classroom is set in a classroom belonging to a school closed against a backdrop falling birthrates and rural depopulation. Enter one of two rooms separated by a glass partition and see yourself reflected faintly there as if present in the other desolate classroom like a spirit of the dead.

Changing Rooms
A maze-like experiential installation. Entering the changing rooms you will find full-length dress mirrors in front and to the left and right. Yet you are not reflected in them: instead the changing rooms extend into infinity. Wandering through it becomes difficult to tell if one is outside the mirrors or inside, and even to distinguish between self and others.
