Biography >

In 1998, I returned again to Tianjin. Our house was located next to an iron finishing factory where I created a series of 37 sheet-metal wall works. Sometime later, the National Gallery of Australia purchased seven of these works for its collection. I did not know this when I was making them. What I did know from working with the factory workers everyday was that conditions in that factory were so basic and the weather was extremely cold.
