Qui es cent [Image no. 12458]
Artist statement: "As a society, we are collectively subjected to an incessant focus on that which is unbearable. Global crises dominate the media and have a very real impact on the way we perceive the world we inhabit and our personal role in it. This collection of works utilises the repetition of action of wrapping, hammering and stitching found in silver-smithing and textile processes, to explore the material qualities of softness and subtlety. The outcome of this form of mark making inverts notions of the unbearable by ritualistically drawing attention to the small details of living ... writing, reading, time in nature... which makes the everyday not only bearable, but poetic.".Copyright of the artist.

I dream of Shangri-la : Exhibition view [Image no. 12504]
Artist statement: "In this work, I deal with an environmental issue. I used genetically modified objects and trashes to depict this year's theme 'Unbearable'. The concept is fish whose body symbolises a mutated body, dreaming of te Chinese version of Utopia, Shangri-la. I combined three objects - a leather jacket head, a beer bottle and squid tentacles - for portraying genetically modified objects. While current biotechnology may produce genetically modified creatures like fish, biotechnology may ruin our ecosystem in the near future. While biotechnology may help prolong human life, we must no neglect how it can destroy our nature. The blue decal painting on the surface can be interpreted as the Chinese version of Utopia, Shangri-la. So, these fish fish are mutated bodies, dreaming of heaven.".Copyright of the artist.
