他的作品曾先后在悉尼双年展、山东艺术学院、济南大学、澳门科技大学、布加勒斯特国立艺术大学、罗马尼亚纳波卡艺术大学、波兰基尔切艺术大学以及英国、澳大利亚等地的诸多美术馆展出。

本次展览的主题为“消亡记忆/记忆消亡”，主要运用打印和绘画的方式来探索艺术和设计之间的关系，作为一种记忆的物质过程。作者主要描述的是人类在过去和将来对物种的灾难性破坏和人类记忆的消失。作者对黑白两色的运用拓展了作品的内在艺术空间。

The title of the exhibition is Extinction Memory / Memory Extinction. This exhibition uses print and drawing processes to investigate the relationship between art and design as a physical material process of memory. I have used print and drawing processes to place emphasis on the scale of works like reading, as an intimate encounter with an idea. This also enhanced by the predominance of black and white and limited colour to exaggerate the schematic nature of these works in the virtual space of Art.
