Absolutely thrilled to announce that my work “King George V Memorial Park, Hong Kong” on Awagami paper, along with three other pieces from the “LIGHT” series, has been acquired by SFMOMA @sfmoma (The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art). A big thank you to @candelafineart for printing these amazing pieces (from “LIGHT”)!
Endless gratitude to Erin @eotoolesf and everyone who made this happen. 🙏🏼
很高興有四張作品被三藩市現代藝術博物館納入藏品之中。從沒想過當初一個關於香港榕樹的小project可以飄洋過海。當中有不同人物穿針引線，給予無條件支持，在此表達衷心的感謝。🫶🏼🙇🏻♂️
Finally have time to post this... I want to express my deepest gratitude again to Steven Evans @stevenbrentevans for inviting me to be part of FotoFest Biennial 2024 @fotofest , and to the people who made this trip possible. It truly feels like a dream to have been there in person. I am so happy to have met all the amazing people and artists; this is a March I won’t forget!
And thank you so much to the FotoFest team for pulling off this amazing festival. You guys are the champions!!

I returned to the UK in mid-April, but the project continues.
From Kuk Po’s Hakka house to the Palm House at Kew Gardens, the search for banyan trees, and the stories, memories, and ways of living they carry, continues between places.
The outcome of the residency will be presented during the upcoming festival in Kuk Po, Hong Kong, opening on 16 May. 🌿

A small glimpse of me working inside our home in Kuk Po, brought along a little printer for some quick prints. 🖨️🖌️
Sharing this home with @sqlai and @yipipypypipyiypiyip 🙏🏼 #kukpo #KukPoProject #ArtistInResidence #ArtResidency #FieldNotes
Life in Kuk Po, a slow, interconnected rhythm shared between animals, insects, and the land.

On the final night of my second stay in Kuk Po, feeling deeply grateful, and already sensing how much I’ll miss this place…
Thank you to everyone for your kindness and care 🙏🏼
話咁快聽日又出村，謝謝大家的照顧🙏🏼🥹 @yipipypypipyiypiyip@sqlai@seikastudio@kukpogettogether
Back in Hong Kong for a couple of weeks, mainly for the residency project in Kuk Po.
Words can’t fully express how grateful I am for this opportunity and experience. Here are some images from my stay last week, it’s a truly magical place.
( I’ve been thinking about the relationship between people, land, and trees, and the traces that remain as lives move elsewhere… )
Stay tuned, the work will be exhibited in the village this May. Looking forward to returning again next week!
可以返到黎做residency，除了感恩還是感恩，多謝 @seikastudio@sqlai@yipipypypipyiypiyip 🙏🏼

(Chinese caption below ⬇️) Hi friends! I’ve begun a new project researching Kuk Po (谷埔), a historic Hakka village in Hong Kong.
With only a few remaining residents, many of its original villagers have migrated to the UK from the 1960s onwards. Working between the UK and Hong Kong myself, I’m interested in the relationship between people and land, and what happens to memory, ecology, and identity when distance grows.
I would love to connect with anyone in the UK who:
• Is originally from Kuk Po or the nearby region
• Has family roots there
• Or simply shares a Hakka heritage/background
Conversations can be informal and exploratory, I’m currently in the research phase and listening.
If you know someone I could speak with, please feel free to DM or connect us. I would be deeply grateful 🙏🏼🤍
最近開展了一個關於香港谷埔的藝術項目，知道大部分居民自60年代起陸續移居英國。作為一個穿梭於英國與香港間的藝術工作者，對谷埔居民與地方的記憶，連結，以及生態和身份的想象甚感興趣，並且希望可以與他們聯繫作更深入的了解與探討！
如果你或你認識的朋友:
•在英國/遊走於香港及英國
並
• 來自谷埔或鄰近地區(例荔枝窩，榕樹凹)/ • 與谷埔有淵源/ • 或擁有客家背景
我很希望可以與你交流對談，形式不拘，以輕鬆了解，發掘更多有趣故事為主！歡迎聯絡介紹和share ，感謝不盡！ 🤍
