Hope ya'll are having a festive and convival fall quarter. You know what I've learned recently?
That there is never a shortage of ideas. You just never know when they're gonna pop up. Herman Melville wrote once about ideas "they are not down in any map; true places never are."
Welp. I aim to manifest these places.
This post is about my next installation project.
I would like to translate my abstract drawings into three dimensional form.
The Abstract is a space where all kinds of memories abound. And I'm always asking about memory. For example: What the hell does it mean to remember? What does it mean to forget?
Here are some pictures from the early stages of this project. Please offer commentary if you'd like:
- The first two pictures are some drawings I'd like to translate.
- The last three pictures are of the current fabrics, visions, space, and forms I'm working with.
(Everything is at the early phallic looking stage right now.... that's probably because I'm interested in exploring What it means to be a Queer Asian Woman/The hypersexualization of male and female forms...)
(I am really inspired by an art friend JP Neang. And also Shirin Neshat. And Chiharu Shiota. And of course the fabulous Amy Hemmens.)
