my show at sculpture square
As part of a artist-to-artist project. Was asked to do pieces based on another artist. Decided to approach it on more ephemeral basic construct of stories through conversations.
Titled “Housework” (the odd-shaped clothes peg), and “Housework II and my mothers” (reconstructed kimono and bag). Both are process-based artworks which speaks of the simplicity/complexity of housework.
Houseworks are only apparently straight forward, but it brings with it social, historical, psychological, traditions, economic context which are often disregarded as such.
Across generations, housework can also become craft and some even art. At what point does a piece of material with threats becomes art? The kimono piece explores how my Japanese ‘mom’ differ from my biological mom in their own interpretation of art.
Very super special thanks to both my moms. And Yen wei’s mom, too!
