“…just a moment” is the title of my MFA thesis paper. This site is anchored in questioning and exploring how experiences of time and space help people find meaning within the contexts of their daily lives.
These enquiries spring from my life history – born in Taiwan, I immigrated to Canada as a young woman in order to pursue an art education, ultimately deciding to become a Canadian citizen and take up an art practice in Toronto. My artwork is thus grounded in personal experience, in memories of time and place. I question how materializations of these experiences in everyday objects assist me, (and others), to adapt to the changing social and cultural parameters of everyday life.
To begin to address this issue, I have experimented with form and material to realize my own creative vocabulary; namely, I use mundane, found objects that comprise the fabric of routine in our lives, such as tea, coffee, roadside stones,and fallen petals
