STATEMENT
My practices dealt chiefly with the human body, both the interior and the exterior. By expanding the details that the audiences don’t expect to see and distorting it to create a new form of bodily elements. The forms beneath the skin; bones, tendons, glands, all become visible but also confused with each other. Inner becomes outer. The work asks us to look again at the human form, a new visual of the body is created that both attracts and repulses the glance of the eyes.
Through charcoal drawing and sculpture I start with a crease or small part on the finger being expanded and fold out into something bizarre to the eyes, to inner glands of human being fused with other organs where audiences did not expect it to be. Letting each elements grows and flow out unconsciously as I draw, folding onto itself again and again. Yet with each fold, the details gradually change, constantly unveil the unseen part of human body.
By doing this the work seeks to examine how far the human body perception can be evolves through drawing practice. To see if this new ‘body’ which generate from part of human body can be consisted of more meaning than its own. Whether it is sexuality, mental state or even the context of the skin that has been changed into something else. I also uses black and white colour on the artwork as a way to focus on form, volume, contrast, and depth. With the less colour possible, the contrasty of each details can be shown more clearers along with the details of the artwork that can be observe more carefully.
