My name is Reginald Balanga. I'm an interdisciplinary artist who works in sculpture, installation, drawing and photography to engage with the themes of grief and failure. I use everyday objects, abstract forms and afterimages to create immersive spaces and ephemeral installations that remember, mourn and celebrate loss. My practice is constantly expanding, with my most recent experiments and explorations delving into public art, artist multiples, fabrication and writing.
