About the Item

Artist Commentary: “Tied”, the title of the installation, is a phonetic pun on the rising tides and the paper pages bound by threads.
As the water rises and falls, pages of our daily experience add and subtract to and from our memory. Our daily life permeates our memory just as the ink is absorbed into each page and create new shapes and patterns onto what once was a clean slate of a blank page.
In ‘Tied’ series, I used handmade papers, pen ink, threads and fabric; materials used in book binding. Papers are cut into strips, dyed in ink and sewn together on a sheet of starched muslin.
Deciding on the “ingredients” for the series was a conscious one. Medium or material I use more or less dictates the direction in developing my ideas. In this series, maintaining the very original function of these material was a guiding line for the progress of the series. Note: Each handmade piece in this series is sold separately. Keywords: abstract, paper, white, grey, ink, thread, rugged Artist Biography: As a foreign transplant, I frequently use observation as the primary tool to communicate with the world I live in. My work often starts with close observation of mundane activities. Plentiful of gathered observations enable me to create visual dialogues where the ideas distilled through observations manifest in movement, figures, shapes and also in coherent choices of materials. They eventually become the most apt instruments for perceiving the world around me. As observation is an ultimately private act, it is inseparable from one's reflection on personal space. The contemplations on personal spaces and continuous search for responsive materials have been demonstrated in different adaptation of fiber, paper and books. As an observer, the self-awareness of personal space is very first step I take. Once I become comfortable in the space I occupy, then the implication of such space takes on psychological meaning. It is where my personal journey was narrated, and remembering “certain places in time” was exercised. Contemplating on personal space and continuous search for responsive materials result in various adaptations of fiber, paper and books. Handmade paper has a certain intrigue in its making and renders itself to the boundless possibilities for how we incorporate and use it as medium. Such qualities of handmade paper has been the major impetus for my work. Confined by fragile and vulnerable qualities of paper, the tactile layers are to capture the traces of accumulated time and fragmented introspection. I strive to communicate with viewers about being fragile, fragmented and vulnerable with layers of wounds and scars, which in turn shows the trace of time passed. Handmade paper, with its intriguing process of making and boundless possibilities of adaptation has been served as the major impetus of my creation, which narrating my personal journey and exercise in remembering “certain places in time”. Contained with fragile and vulnerable qualities of paper, the tactile layers are to capture traces of accumulated time and fragmented introspection. I’ve always tried to contain the fragile and vulnerable qualities of paper while narrating my personal journey as an observer and exercise in remembering certain conditions of an individual being. I continue to communicate with viewers more about the fragile being, a fragmented and vulnerable being with layers of wounds and the traces of accumulated time.
