Everyone is invited to attend the Opening Reception of How To Be 57, an exhibition that marks the culmination of her month-long residency at KWAG. Her drawing-based installation practice focuses on such themes as cultural confusion, the transient nature of human connections, and shape-shifting identity. In her art practice, she often works one-on-one with members of the public to create a diverse range of works inspired by their stories.
