"There is a lot of kitsch that appears in my work, which while it appeals to a nostalgia for a former way of life, also serves as a time stamp for a time when the attitudes expressed towards Vietnamese people, and other minority groups, were different.

These scenes allow me to tread, perhaps uneasily, themes of migration, pestilence, conservation, nostalgia and cultural shifts. The five pieces in this show can be viewed as part of the same narrative."
