Introduction
The exhibition will be presented in terms of artist statements. A snapshot of their work in the exhibition will feature on a weekly basis.
The catalog of the exhibition is far more detailed in terms of opening addresses and artist’s biographies, curriculum vitae and statements etc. and moreover, is a holistic record of the exhibition itself.
Synopsis of Artwork: Emerge
Looking out through the car windshield on a dark rainy night, the world outside is transformed through the pounding rain. As a shadowy reflection on that distorted image, I see my own face, and feel as though I am looking at the inside of the mask. The facial image is torn by shreds of the outside world flowing down the windshield with the pouring rain. This is not the crisp, bright image in a mirror, but hints of an image that pulsates out from within the sheets of rain. Revealed is the animating force peering out from behind the shadows, even more clear with each strike of lightening. The image as ritual spirit has been summoned up by the pounding of the rain under the cover of darkness.
My “body world” experiences jar my way of being in the world. The social world, the natural world, and more, so the intimate world warped like the chaotic molecules in the stretch of a rubber band. Words are silenced … simultaneously with an explosion of connections to the intimate dimensions of nature. Intensified in my everyday experience, wind brings tears as it patterns the sunshine with shadows of trees and undulating leaves. Colors embody light molecules themselves. Charging molecules, reshaped with light as my patterns, patterns of my body, of my soul are reshaped with blasts of light. Wind moves the water, continuously reforming the patterns of one’s life, translucent layers move spontaneously to reveal and conceal simultaneously. Like firelight in a ceremonial dance protecting the secrecy of symbolic forms painted on one’s body.
