2022 Willamette University Studio Art Senior Thesis Exhibition at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art
These video projections are illustrations of one of China’s four great classical novels, Journey to the West, used here to express my conflicting memories of childhood, both nostalgic and disconnected, as a Chinese American. This installation is based on 水帘洞 Shuilian Cave from 花果山 Mount Huaguo, the home of 孙悟空Sun Wukong, and additionally an abstraction of a home for myself. The images are created through photo-bashing, a combination of photo editing and digital painting. The mix of photos, an aspect of reality, and paintings that are rooted in imagination embrace my fascination with Chinese mythology.
