Strange Memories Project
Illawarra Performing Arts Centre (IPAC) www.merrigong.com.au
Strange Memories has been selected for the Merrigong Theatre Development Program at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre, Wollongong Australia. In 2006 and 2007 we completed the first stage which was script development: exploring the theatrical ideas within the script with Director Anne-Louise Rentell. In 2008 development of the full script continues.

In 2008 I will spend three months in LiaoNing Province in China undertaking research on a collaborative project called 'Parallel Dreams' with contemporary Chinese artist Wu GuoWei. I have been awarded an Artist in Residence by the Australia China Council. Wu GuoWei and I met for the first time in 2006 in Shanghai. Neither of us spoke the others language but on seeing each others artwork, we were moved by the similarity of our vision. Our dreams and stories which reflected two very different places had an uncanny similarity – a shared experience. We are planning a series of exhibitions and cultural exchanges between China and Australia for 2008 / 2009. Adobe has generously sponsored the project providing creative software for the multi media elements.

We have also been awarded a Nillumbik Council / Parks Victoria, Laughing Waters Artist in Residence for 2008 to continue our collaboration in Australia.

At the last Shanghai International Art Fair 2007, I was one of three artists selected at the fair by the prestigious car company Roewe to create an artwork especially on one of their cars. I invited Chinese artist and friend Wu GuoWei to assist in the creation of this special artwork - a dream in pink with fluttering birds and dragonflies on a sleek black car.

My work is currently showing in China at Gallery Zhao. This is in the North Bund Art Village, 2361 Yang Shu Pu Road, Shanghai.

Recently I represented Australia in an international art exhibition titled 'Being' at the Zhu Qizhan Art Museum in Shanghai, November 2007. Zhu Qizhan Art Museum is one of the major public museums in Shanghai and serves as a platform for both traditional and contemporary art. The exhibition theme ‘Being’ looked at the importance of nature, animals and the environment. I also presented a multi media work with narration based on my Strange Memories film for the opening ceremony of the exhibition working with a local performer Shao Bai who narrated in Mandarin.
