the exhibition:Cause and Complexity

‪ My porcelain wall piece: cultural homelessness has been selected for the multimedia exhibition Cause and Complexity which will launch Homelessness Awareness Week 2017.
​

Title of work: Cultural homelessness
Porcelain, Gold lustre, enamels, 37x 36.5 x 3.5cm,Handmade 
 
I am living in-between cultures: my homeland Taiwan and my new home Bristol. 
I am questioning my own identity, so I decided to use rich enamel and gold lustre to emphasise this concept of the edge, to represent my enduring feelings of being an outsider and experiencing cultural homelessness.
 
Using the tips of my thumbs and forefingers I created tiny and careful actions to represent my own small voice. This meditative movement is between pressing and pushing. Each small individual porcelain fingerprint is a reconstruction of my identity. It represents the relationship between me and the dominant western narrative I find myself in.
