Through my research I aim to develop a lasting dialogue with academic and contemporary artists primarily concerned with experimental art practices in Japan. As two important cultural forces in the Australia Asia Pacific region, I believe more cultural exchange between Australia and Japanese artists is important to inform, confirm & share current theoretical and aesthetic ideas that run parallel between Japanese and Australian Contemporary Art Practices.
