I have a hoarding tendency and I don't have a single organized bone in my body to make sense of it. I keep the little scraps of paper in my pocket and the library receipts of others that fall out of books; the pamphlets I take from art galleries, the mathematical workings from two years ago - they pile up in little cairns and I forget about them. I have things unsorted that go back as early as primary 2 and are as banal as a science worksheet. It's hugely ironic, how I hoard this paper trail and yet don't quite ever put them in their places, map out my path... The forgetting bit, though, leads me often to the false feeling of the pointlessness of storing anything.

This series is about words and images gone astray. These works have been donated to Evil Empire’s “12x” art event, whereby 36 young artists create 36 works that will be sold through a balloting process.
