Artist Statement
With focus on the interplay between landscape and art objects, my projects tend to create intervention derived from the site context. The inspiration often comes from ordinary objects that can be easily found at each site. I usually take observation and research period to understand the site and choose the most significant object that relates to the site and the project. The procedure of “choosing”objects are not always the same. Sometimes the objects are chosen from site’s social, cultural means, sometimes inspiration comes from image of site’s landscape, or sometimes it comes from imaginary world, such as fairy tales and movies that relates to the project. With these objects, I am interested in creating a novel but familiar form of art by exercising the use of unusual arrangement, juxtaposition, shift in scale, color, and the use of extraordinary materials. My work tends to be human-occupiable art rather than strictly visual art work. The interventions I created intend to offer visitors accessible ways to engage with surrounding landscape. Blurring the boundary of public art and landscape, I pursue memorable site specific art that is visual, graphical, interactive, and experimental.
