家 home (jiā/chù)
February 2018: Laverne krause gallery
"How do we move forward without recognizing what brought us here? What we eat, how we live. Who will take care of our home if not us? It is a practice of maintenance that we engage with everyday. Though we are apart, the gestures and rituals of our past keep us close to home."
A collaborative installation with Irene Chau, utilizing abstract forms and motifs to emulate our experience growing up in Taiwanese-American homes. What did we sit on? What did we collect? How did we store our belongings?
What is worth keeping and how do we make space for it?
