Known for her appropriation and translation of everyday subjects and catchphrases, the survey features a selection of a dozen works that span the last decade of the artist's perceptual investigations ranging from more recent works such as <em>on a clear day</em> and <em>cloud</em>, to earlier projects such as <em>wish you were here</em>. The exhibition forms a snapshot of the artist's use, and purposeful misuse, of language, ideas and subtle humour.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; ">As an extension to the exhibition, the artist will be restaging her popular project <em>wish you were here</em>, featuring a chartered plane flying over the campus with a banner that simply reads WISH YOU WERE HERE.
