Cement floor pattern 

White Cube Gallery 
Bermondsey

Sparkling glassbeads, silver- and gold leaves, muted, frayed fabric of recycled old shirts all appliqued on huge canvases above the glittering cement floor mirroring the neon lights of the ceiling with the aggressive "contemporary" sound of an installation - there is a real feeling of absence and emptiness here.  

In the White Cube's new exhibition Structure and Absence at their new minimalist Bermondsey Street building structure is absent, there are only surfaces.

Shoe prints

There is an invisible map on the surface of the dry-lands: the network of our shoe-prints. This story is much appreciated as forensic evidence by the police but it becomes visible for us only on sandy beaches and snow-covered streets. This beautiful pattern is there under our feet, and this rich story is made even more beautiful with the design of modern trainers.
