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.
