 My research project is based on the idea of the self and I'm particularly interested in the hidden parts of the self so that parts that we don't understand like they unconscious and dreams. The process starts with filming in sort of places that are identified as liminal spaces or non places. Places we visit with purpose and then sort of move quickly through and I take steels from the footage and overlay it transparently and create these collages. Though it sits really flush with the wall it pushes really far back, creates this space that sort of like envelops you and it's due to its size it's something you kind of can't ignore it sort of invades you as a viewer. I am looking for kind of a contemporary way of combining two traditional techniques of Chinese ink painting which is Chinese landscape painting and Chinese dilutive painting. The idea started more of having an addition to colour and material and the way that this is developed now is about how colour contrast so for this one orange and blue how I could translate that through material as well so that the material gesture becomes energetic, got intactile and engaging not only for myself as the artist painting it but also to the viewer who's seeing it. Art is very sort of separate a little bit from the outside world and it's good to have people that kind of understand what you're going through and understand what you're doing and you can kind of talk to them when family is not, don't really understand. Yeah it's a really nice environment because you know everyone's here working really hard and then when you get stuck in the corner we all just sit together and you know start to talk about each other's paintings. I've been given an opportunity where I can do something that I really love and it's um you know it's a value here.
