Hello, I’m Wendy and come from a dance and choreographic background before being seduced into new-media art and urban-media projection. Currently, I have immensely enjoyed the opportunities I’ve been given to create projection works and I’m keenly interested in incorporating new media techniques to design engaging works such as anamorphic and 3D design. To me, projection is like a promethean fire that early humans gathered around to tell stories, so my philosophy with projection and public art is that it is important to design with an intention to the locality of the installation to create a sense of placemaking and to elevate the local communities it engages with.
I have created works in the following spaces
Latest Work

In The Absence Of Human Intervention Seeds Which Fall Onto Eroding Architectural Surfaces Would Begin To Germinate Rapidly And Continually, Eventually Bringing Down The Building Structures We’ve Left Behind.
