The installations explore the perception of space and many of the works are constructed from transparent materials like glass and polyester resins. As you move around the object you get different views, objects appear and disappear depending upon your perspective.

The exhibition opens on the 26th and runs till 6th January 2019 at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre.

Below are some of the photos I took of the exhibition during the press preview, with lots more on my Flickr.
