In this exhibition, spanning from 1992 to the present encompassing more than 60 of his work, blur the divide between two and three-dimensional forms to challenge the viewer’s understanding of the world in which they live. You can see photo sculptures large stainless steel works and large scale photo mosaics, installations and new video work subvert perception of size and structure and urge us to look deeper into the relationship between the fragment and the bigger picture. It is true that each time finding a freshness of purpose, and a surprising inventiveness of visual language.
