Movement Reflections is my new project which I have been working on it for the last 6 months on and off basis.  The idea first came as an hunch at my old studio at bloc studios which I made my first Movement Reflection painting based on Tai chi movements and called the painting "Tai Chi Warrior" It is very exciting to see the project becoming alive now. I will be doing my first public performance on 5 December in Sheffield  at CADS for The Confluence Project, Contemporary Art and Music Collaborations , between 7pm till late. I will be performing on live Jazz band and on to Algorave Techno, live coder-DJ Alex Mclean. I will be painting with my feet onto a wide board feeding my tai chi and dance based movements with music and reflecting the 3 dimensional momentum into 2 dimensional paint marks. Here are some links to my collaborators and to the event. The Confluence Project AlgoRave with Yaxu CADS

As I like film, it also reminds me of 'U' being universal…so Universal You?! You are Universal?!?!! A cocktail of word play. When you turn the letter 180 degrees it becomes ‘n’.   ‘Un' - the un-doing...
