about
“There is a hollowness in the centre of the colonial native. It seems that the soft centre of our identities have been scooped out and then filled with the shiny images of a mythology. The flickering shadows in our core drives us to seek out the homeshore where these shadows will step out of us and become real.” - Jack Tan
“… all communities … are imagined. Communities are to be distinguished not by their falsity/genuineness, but by the style in which they are imagined.” - from ‘Imagined Communities’ by Benedict Anderson, Verso 1991.
Interview by ReachoutRCA, 2009
My work explores the relationship between political and artistic processes, and the interstice between the representational and the presentational. This guides my exploration of the relationship between content and form, meaning and appearance, being and rules. The work finds expression in sculpture, video, writing, curating, enactment, organising and activism.
