September 28 - November 4

Cheung's work explores notions of locality and our perception of the spaces that surround us. She draws the viewer into created spaces, encouraging engagement and interaction. Not easily categorised, her practise encompasses participatory events, communal processes of making and revolves around interactions between individuals and the worlds they inhabit. Her seductive, hybrid light sculptures juxtapose elements of traditional craft technique and Chinese culture with an experimentation of form and materials. Cheung draws on her personal heritage and Chinese culture as an infinite source of stimulation. In this fluid exchange of ideas, form, and materials, the inherent associations of objects and events are displaced and altered, allowing new ideas to surface.
