Supervisors: Professor Joanne Crawford, Simon Lewandowski

Profile

I am a sculptor and currently undertaking a practice-led PhD at University of Leeds. I like exploring the expression of absurdity and humour through re-combining different signs, and I seldom use objects in their normal function, but expose them deliberately to complex and absurd procedures.

Research interests

Kinetic art, Public art, Semiology, Roman Signer, The theory of laughter

Qualifications

MA. Sculpture. Royal College of Art, London
BA. Sculpture. Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, China
