"Vipoo Srivilasa is a ceramicist from Thailand who has been studying and working in Australia for four years. In his arrival to Australia he attended the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras where the parade and festival had a massive impact on him, and has since become an  influence for much of his work. This exhibition explores the seemingly unconnected (except by initials) ideas of sado masochism and Suvan Madcha (a form of Thai Mermaid)"
