If more people took their time with Bangkok—saw the cornucopia of people eating khao pad moo on the street, or charcuterie in a French restaurant with pinot to match; if they wandered through the higgeldy-piggeldy sub sois, marvelling at the brightly coloured hues of the skinny shopfronts, or the brutalist apartment blocks done up in cheerful tones, filled with lives, stories and laughter; if they accepted that (geographically speaking) Bangkok is kinda sorta the centre of the whole wide world... Well, then the secret would be out. Bangkok would become too popular for its own good! So this will just have to be our little secret, okay?

History Remixing
We imagine history into existence every day, shaping the world around us as we go. I remake histories with every piece. From a motley crew of tales tall and true. A melange of myths, signs and symbols. Every one ripe for my kitsch confections, which could all be legends one day.
Every piece I create is true. Sourced from truth and grounded by it. But never real. Reality's a fiction we're all subscribed to, which doesn't make it any less true. And that's the thing about the truth. Or the past. It moves in both directions. Myriad, in fact. Never sitting still or doing as it's told. Forever questioned, dissected, reframed and upended. Queered and inverted. Packaged and performed. Told, retold, adapted then sold. Evolving, like everything else. Which is why I like to think my art exists outside of time. Reaching for infinity. Not reality. A kaleidoscope of mish-mashed truths, which are only as surreal as we choose to make them...
Eternally Hungry
Born in Sydney, I spent my childhood surrounded by artists, oddballs and academics. They taught me to question everything. Respectfully and without fear.
Their coffee table books inspired my love of art and design. Vigorous debates over citywide dinner tables made me realise how complex the world is. Tales of lives spent abroad inspired my wanderlust. Their most important lesson? The value of being eternally hungry—that you should always leave enough room to taste something you've never experienced before.
Twenty-two countries and four continents later, I can find home anywhere with WiFi and a hearty chunk of intrigue. It's because of them, and I'm forever grateful.
