My artwork explores the spaces between reality and fiction, blurring the line between my imagination, my memory and different future possibilities. My current work uses surrealism to imagine the meeting points between two very different landscapes, my hometown of Hong Kong and Cary, a small rural town in the East of the USA. My work takes images of this two places and combines in them in surreal juxtapositions to create a new dreamscape that captures my hopes and fears. This work has a strong personal connection as I am due to leave my familiar hometown of Hong Kong for the unknown Cary in 2020.

 

I use three-dimensional painting to explore my wildest imagination, to ponder my future and to live out my dreams (and fears). I am particularly interested in Surrealism as I think that it is really important to provoke the audiences imagination and curiosity, especially as we live in a period when being imaginative and curious is not as valued as I think it should be.
