text by Sappho Loh
There is usually some gap between creating the artwork and exhibiting it.
In the hurried confusion of the opening
I always think
I can fuss a little more with the work even though it is being exhibited
And after the exhibition closes
There are always a few more things I want to say.
While the flavor lingers
I am always deferring what I want to think or say about my work.
I have thought a lot about family issues and made several series of work on this theme.
In Resplendent Variations, I strove to make a work that sums up these feelings.
Perhaps it is related to my memories of growing up, or maybe some impression of an ancient drama.
I always heave an endless sigh
For those families who bustle with luxury and excitement on the outside
Yet are decadent and empty within.
So,
I have tried to use a resplendent method to reflect all the variations
To make the shining magnificence even brighter.
This creates a stronger contrast with the abrupt lonesomeness
Make the resplendence more empty
And the variations even stranger. |
