THE BLUE LOTUS SECTION - Joe's, 496 King St, Newtown - opening 28 June, 2000

'The Blue Lotus Section' was a group exhibition curated by Billy Gruner at a little gallery called Joe's that existed on King  Street for a while.  It included 25 artists.


I exhibited my small paintings and castings - I know it SEEMS like I showed them a lot, but it was really only the first time in Sydney - they had been shown in Brisbane and Bundaburg, then the castings by themselves appeared at Gallery 4A earlier in the year, but it was the first time that the whole thing had been shown in Sydney.

UNTITLED ARRANGEMENTS - Gallery 4A, Level 3, 53-55 Liverpool St, Sydney - 15 March-8 April 2000

My first show in 2000 was at Gallery 4A (an initiative of the Asian Australian Artists Association inc).  I exhibited a combination of flower arrangements and castings.  The flower arrangements included a third incarnation of the 'flower tray' and 9 pieces consisting of layered flower petals and leaves set in polyester resin.  The resin pieces where arranged in one line opposite an arrangement of 15 small metal castings in a grid formation.
