Artist Statement
"I use the technical knowledge of painting and printmaking to experiment and emphasize a personal process that hybridizes the two mediums. Through the language of multiples, gradients, layering, masking, and mark-making, I reproduce cultural iconography to imagine and explore my relationship to the Chinese diaspora and to Canadian culture. I use my practice to design a lexicon which describes experiences of multiculturalism, assimilation, and polite racism in Canada. The product of my artistic practice is artwork, delightful in colour and presented to be palatable, to invite even the most unsuspecting viewer into a discourse on racialized experiences in Canada."
