Kam continues to work in a variety of mediums and many styles and looks forward to the next project to develop his own unique visual language, his second exhibition in Japan earlier this year (having participated in last year's Versus exhibition) was a showcase of individual work produced over the last 12 months or so and clearly shows the breadth of that language.
