A Lone Fracture. 

Cultural displacement is a common theme for those born in this country and of foreign descent. The confusion starts from early childhood, when you somehow realize that you are different from your friends, but you don’t quite understand why. I am no different, my writings record early childhood memories of anger, rage, frustration.  A Lone Fracture places this feeling in suspended animation, along with dormant dandelion seeds. When will they bloom? Only time will tell.

Blood Tie.

Whatever we feel about our ancestors, we simple could not exist without them. Blood Tie, conveys the idea of transfusion from one culture to another, but also this idea that through genealogy, we carry the responsibility of everyone who made us who we are, in determining our own heritage, culture and identity.

Dim Sum Daily.

Digital ceramic transfer on plates, vintage 1970s Chinese Lamp , Chop sticks, embroidered napkins and recorded sound (Cantonese conversation, wind chimes and gale).

Each place is set for one of my ancestors, you are invited to sit at the table, a combination of sound and low light gives you a sense that when you sit at the table, you are in fact now between two worlds, that of this life and the next. Dim Sum anybody?

Firebird.   

Firebird records the life, death and rebirth of a painting. Shown alongside the Ash in box, Firebird conveys the idea of the eternity of life and death through a series of photographs documenting the creation and eventual burning of this painting and its re-emergence as it takes on a new form.
