Spume
My work involves creating 3-dimensional organic forms, mostly in generic and biomorphic shapes. Through these forms, I attempt to express seemingly static yet dynamic characteristics of our evolving lives. While they resemble transitions and transformations of nature, the forms are to also capture subtle but continuous changes in our emotions, sentiments, memories, and expectations.
I weave and connect traces and tracks of the subtle changes in organic forms. The organic forms are made with mass-produced industrial materials, in particular, monofilament and cable ties. They are non-durable, disposable, trivial, inexpensive, and easily consumed materials. But, when I weave and connect them, I transform them into organic visualizations. I want them to be creating lasting moments, evoking and encapsulating our precious thoughts.
I often find these moments in nature. Nature allows me to pause and find things that have been overlooked and are inspiring. It provides me with room to find breakthroughs and answers, and gives me time to ponder thoughts. Through my work, I want to bring to our attention the moments that nature allows us to find. I present nature in abstract porous ways so that they can be filled with our moments.
