Love Letter to Past, Present & Future
Love Letter to Past, Present & Future is a series of small scale, mixed media drawings on rice paper. They bear traces from previous Love Letters installation. Layered with abstractly composed lines and dots, “I seek to create an ambiguous and fantastic world that seems familiar but lies just out of reach. Interspersed among all these elements, are mysterious suggestions of compass and chart-like symbols. Juxtaposed with it are illustrations of familiar every-day objects, situations and awkward moments or poses. I wanted to put things side by side where they may never have been seen before to create a new reality.” Unpinning these drawings is a sense of longing and reflection (past present future). But, like artifacts of a forgotten culture, the past and future moments can never be completely deciphered. Yet we aren’t fully aware of this present moment.
Printed on Ilford Torinoko-Washi 110gsm. Breaking things down to digestible sizes makes things manageable. Symbols of chart-like and measurements frames are metaphorical setting for an objective perspective.
