Ailanthus, [installation view]

Description: Consequence of Experience a series of rubbings which integrate text and image.

Rubbing a soft pencil stick over rag paper set on top of the surface of a child’s dress stiffened and dried with acrylic gel makes an impression on the paper and transfers the image of the dress to another surface as a form of printmaking. Rubbing gently transfers a vague translucent image. Pressing hard gives a bold impression. The rubbed impression is like belonging, sometime it feels bold and unmistakable and others times vague and doubtful. The impression taken from the real object can feel like two identities, one that is shown to the world and the other hidden behind. Written words on the rag paper conform to the image of the dress below but leave out bits for the viewer to reconstruct. Fabric dresses transferred as a rubbing can be like memory as it can fragment, fade, rip and unravel leaving gaping holes and absences.

Description: Leaving Home explores the experience of displacement using electro-etching, probing what you physically carry and the emotional and spiritual baggage such as memory, familiarity, cultural identity, grief, sadness and loss that you bring with you in your body.

The electro-etching process of metal displacement became central to the translation of my childhood experience of involuntary evacuation from a volatile, dangerous political situation. Humans continue to experience displacement due to many situations including natural disasters, economic imperatives or physical danger and insecurity. Baggage such as memory, familiarity, cultural identity, grief, sadness and loss is carried physically and emotionally when you flee. No journey is certain when your world it turned upside down and you are force to leave the known for the unfamiliar.
