My recent project 'Missing Pages' is negotiating such problems as time, existence, and expiration. It consists of drawings, paintings, and sculptures that represent humdrum objects in everyday life.
The goal of this project is to renew the meanings of the neglected objects that have yet to demise, by taxonomizing their visual forms and exuviae littered around us. Some of my works are kinds of recordings of my compressed daily life which will never be touched again.
Through painting, I expect to represent emotional or spiritual parts rather than objective reality. However, at the same time, I try to avoid that the objects in my works are regarded as symbols. In addition, I am concentrated to use various painting style such as rubbing pigment or combining paintings into one work to make layers. Splitting or combining layers is also one of the most interesting topics recently.
In the case of resin works, I have been fascinated by resin, for it enables me to freeze and preserve objects. Its innate qualities, such as transparency, hardness and uncontrollable bubbles serve the purpose of making the objects more visible and distant at the same time. The character of wooden boxes, which are opening, showing only one side and closing, highlight revealing, hiding and distancing those are the resin do. These points are effective to represent the shape of passed time and memory. Recently I am doing an experiment in floating paint in resin.
In terms of selling my artwork, I expect that the progress of selling the works one by one depicts that the memories are dimming and being abstracted. If I can have an exhibition with all of these pieces after all pieces are sold, this process can be regarded as a reminding.
