Recent exhibitions include 'C.1983' at Presentation House Gallery and 'The Biography of Images' at the Audain Gallery in Vancouver and an upcoming residency at Skriduklaustur in Iceland. Much of his work has concerned the lost aspirations of the utopian principles of Modernism, in terms of the design and social life of the city.
