ABOUT THE ARTWORK
While I was on the family archive series, I also found some of my father's calligraph along with his collection of calligraph papers, ink and brushes etc. My dad passed away four years ago and about the same time subconsciously, I started incorporate Chinese rice paper into my painting and now I have the stack of rice paper my dad have used makes the whole process more intimate and personal to me. The rice paper's duality of being fragile and strong echoes my emotional state as I traveling back and forth between the U.S. and China. The flexibility of the paper blended well with the canvas and oil paint. I layered the paper with my painted surface of my mother when she was young as memories of the past are merging with the present.

Recent years I have been working on varies family archive projects. Traveling twice a year to China taking care of my 85 years old mother and documenting her daily life, her apartment, and her fabric sewing using traditional floral patterned clothes. Utilizing photograph, video recording and painting. By doing this, I try to hold on to the memory my mom has for her past since her memory is on a steady decline path. Meanwhile, I also discovered many of my dad’s calligraphy writing and massive amount of rice paper he left since he passed away in 2018. My recent oil on rice paper and fuzzy portrait series are my reminiscent of the life they lived and by using these personal material and old archived photos in my painting it’s my way to continuing the legacy and helping me to find homage to my culture and heritage. The memory may not be clear and eventually be lost but the impact of their lives and their memory will be remembered and lived through the generations behind.
