I have been working on one of my many attempts at writing a statement about my work. Here is the latest of these:
“Drawing is an absorbing activity and a way of allowing subjectivity to emerge through the mark-making process itself. It is for me fundamentally about line-based mark-making and abstraction as a starting point. I am interested in the relationship between control and spontaneity, between blot and line, restraint and exuberance, autobiographical subjectivity and non-linear story making. My mixed Chinese/English background has recently become a factor in my work and I am exploring this through the use of traditional Chinese materials and the use of a technical pen.”
