Artist Statement
First, my work is about colors and patterns. It is mainly made from threads, yarns and the use of the crochet hook to form a kind of fabric. I always been fascinated with such artwork since the day I saw my mother weaved and that was when I learned to weave. To me, most of the completed fabric that were done by crocheting, this is common. It can be seen at home for decorations and some are made into clothes. Thus it being common has inspired me to modify and add more inspiration and work into them, turning it into a meaningful art work, by using my creativity to create large scale works from just the usage of these soft materials like yarns and threads to form sculptures. I want the viewer to wonder and paused for thought when they see the works.
I have noticed something about the patterns that are formed by crocheting. Mostly the patterns are just repetition so I decided to interpret them with optical illusion. Literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type such as brightness, tilt, color and/or movement. Therefore the choices of colors and size are as important factors to my works.
What I want to convey is that yarns can also made into large scale works. My works are better in bigger scale because I want the viewer to feel and understand more about optical illusion that can also be made of yarns. There are many kinds of optical illusions that we can find, so I will continuously explore more about the mediums, patterns and colors used, to create more impressive works.
