the fuzzy things in my scarf Painting

Heiyi Tam was born and raised in Hong Kong and moved to the UK when she was 15. The subtleties of the merging of the East and West, through landscapes, cultures and cuisines often seep into her subconscious during creation. She often works instinctively, creating form before concept. As the composition comes to fruition, she immerses herself into the painting and its colour palette, allowing herself to be informed by past memories, emotions, feelings, and flavours which determine the trajectory of the piece and its title. Tam draws upon the sensory aspects of her chosen memory such as the taste, scent and tactile sensations associated with it to reconstruct the moment itself. The way she paints is ‘joyfully chaotic’. Working in layers and fluid movements, moments of clarity and interruptions within the details often reveal forgotten feelings as she reconstructs specific moments and encapsulates the sensations tethered to them. Tam’s work questions present realities through reimagined emotional landscapes from the past. It revolves around the fragility and intangibility of memories, and the desire to preserve them. There is resistance to attaching concrete meaning in her work with a focus on accepting the fluidity of fragmented and reconstructed memories, moments, and stories that demand to be felt.
