| Abstract | Drawing is the core of my practice; it suggests the intensity of filling the time/space. I have been working intensely with simple tools such as graphite on paper and fabrics as preceded in both Eastern and Western drawing traditions. While drawing has appeared sidelined in the Western fine arts practice in the last few decades, its ‘marginal’ nature intrigues me. Language is one appropriation in my practice. To draw through manipulating some gendered Chinese characters and a dying ‘secret’ matriarchal script nüshu, I have explored performative manifestations. While my working with the hieroglyphic and symbolic signs into undefined graphs and representations are attempts to break away from the original registrations, the appropriations of nüshu graph and her work forms suggest possibilities of articulating outside the dominant culture and language of man. Moreover, I am fascinated with the idea of ‘working through of culture’. Objects, artefacts, common or banal, are usually ignored and excluded from discourse; yet they have offered a site of experiences and relations. The conscious configuration of objects tells a story; they point backwards and forwards. In fact, knowledge is not discovered within the artefacts but in the process of exploration. Through my drawing practice, the search is evolving so that something ‘lost’ is ‘recovered’: process of recollection and representation is performed. |
