“Behind the Veil”

Expressive Form: Sculpture

Artist’s Statement

Veiled by a family photograph, a network of bamboo structures reassembles my connection to my culture, history and connection with my grandmother.

The process of constructing the bamboo towers became an act of meditation on stability, balance and fragility.  Despite disruption through politics, immigration and death this work affirms the bonds of our blood line and speaks of resilience and love.

At the core of this work is my grandmother represented in the portraits to whom I dedicate this work.

Vale.
