INSPIRATION

Collage of various art pieces including quilts, paintings, sketches, and photographs, with the prominent words "CEREMONY INSPIRATION" at the bottom.
Various traditional Japanese artwork including ukiyo-e prints and a woven textile with geometric patterns.
Collage of artistic and historical objects including a carved face sculpture, a pair of embroidered gloves with eye designs, a damaged portrait painting titled 'Ceremony Inspiration', and a small canvas with a scene of people, possibly related to a ceremony or event.

In Ceremony, patterns can be maps, cages, rhythms as well as signs and symbols. Just as politics, culture and identity can affect

how we relate to various colors or shapes. This series asks us a lot of questions. Life is change and a pristine point in-between

contradictions when one view point shifts to the other. These pieces are hints, like the patterned inner lining of a suit jacket, they

ask questions and reveal answers about the person who wears the jacket, thus sending the viewer on a quest for understanding

and an attempt to create meaning.

Work technical description

Paper machè, although a humble set of materials, can last for centuries. Simultaneously in a world of sufferable materials where

decomposition is slow, paper machè can return to dust with relative ease. The strength of this material is akin to the warp and weft

of textiles. Its personality that of an architectural sketch. It morphs into something new without any assistance.

This material though simple and straightforward is poetic. Nearly perfect yet constantly glorifying its imperfections, reminding the maker that it too has a voice in its creation.

Cover of a magazine titled "DaPopPop," with a bold black arrow shape pointing downward. The background features a geometric pattern with a red square, a gold rectangle, and black and blue arrow shapes. The words "THE CEREMONY SERIES" are written in large black capital letters, with "THE" and "SERIES" smaller and "CEREMONY" larger in the center.
