“Before the Beijing Olympics, I had a bad fall and hit my cheekbone, in which case they always check to see if your eyes are double. The fact of possible doubling, layering, has influenced my artistic practice, which has become dominated by multi-exposure and complex images that shine through each other. This mutual interplay of spaces and exploring the emergence of new ones became my focus.”
