About the artist

I have been exposed to different ways of using a variety of mediums to express my ideas. I kept my interests open to new mediums: from 2-D mediums of drawing, painting and printmaking, to 3-D mediums of clay modeling, ceramics, mold making, casting, papier-mache, fiber and assemblage. I feel that one artist cannot be confined in one or few particular mediums that he/she feels too comfortable to work with. By combining all I have learned, I was able to create my own large-scaled assemblages -- installations.

Based on my personal mythology, there once existed a creature, Androgyny, who took the form of both sexes. As time went by, it lost some of its own physical identities and split into two separated sexes, as we are now. Somehow the soul within ourselves still holds the personality of both sexes.

Through the presentation of my installation, I am continuing my investigation of my personal myth and creating a world of my own.
