Artist Statement
This project is examining self. There are many ways to define me. I can be defined myself by roles; an international student in Kansas, wife, daughter, big sister, friend. However, I would like to examine myself by a place which every role of me stays and interacts each other. Home is the place that links every role of mine and I can be soundly me. Home is the place where relationships form and break down, and complicated emotions are tangles. The home contains me in it.
The fabric that I used gives warm and domestic feeling to the artwork. By using embroidery, I would like to give feminine feelings and also works as a playful. Also, the short poem shows an emotional connection between me and home.
This is contemporary art. Cyanotype has been released and developed recently. I was inspired by the style of Emily Gui's artwork that cropping the background of the objects and printing them on blankets which are very intimate to her. Also, I referred to the artwork of Morgan Willingham and Marina font for embroidery.
