| 关于此艺术家 |
Primarily using plaster casts, her work reveals a constant re-appropriation of methods as diverse as carpentry, ceramics and needlework. Influenced by childhood memories, nostalgic spaces are suggested through symbolic objects which represent a particularly subjective interaction with the memory of a significant person or place. Subtle overlaying of projections onto sculpture builds up a visual palimpsest and restructures the narrative of each object. The artist's work is concerned with loss, memory and trace of an absence. Her current body of work stands as an investigation into Derrida's theory of trace, erasure and the instability of visual signifiers as symbols of memory.
The artist's early work reveals her grounding in ceramics and painting, aspects of which are revealed in the current body of work, especially mouldmaking and casting techniques. The artist's early pieces explore a world of death/loss and replacement/reproduction, which encompasses the passing of innocence and the arrival of sexuality. It is the realm of Louise Borgeois' changeling adolescent, Hans Bellmer's enchanted garden of childhood. |
