Life...
STATEMENT: I use childhood toys (such as my beloved stuffed animals and animal-shaped objects) in my works. These toys educe the imagination through the reminiscent nature inherent in a childhood fascination. My works reveal not only the internal narrative of the existence within, but also examine the relationships and how our predisposed ideas come into play. As more elements are placed within the area of interaction, more layers reveal to investigate the nature of existence. They ultimately and metaphorically reflect living people, ideas, and perceptions. The association—shifting and revealing through the viewer's mind—brings a meaningful dialogue in these seemingly insignificant theatrics and the objects in my works.
...and its abstractions.
STATEMENT: Each piece starts with a theme—an idea or a concept, and each may have started out with intent. Eventually they end up as independent entities existing differently each moment and time they are perceived. I'm more interested in people's perceptions of these ideas. In my prints, these ideas are abstracted. The abstraction is toward the primordial perception that bounces in the realm of the vague and ambiguous—toward sensations and feelings. They act as stimulants for the perception and imagination.
