Artist Statement

I trust that the creation starts on the feeling and experiences in our life. What I try to explore is the possibility that the performing arts converts into the visual art. I am a part-time performer, this is the reason I decided to use this element in my creations. I usually perform in team work with drumming and movement.

These artworks are hoped to give the audience an imagination of rhythm on the board through the hammered process sound impact and also the colors metal nails. I choose hammered this action is because it is similar with the motion when drumming, I hope to find a way to represent “percussion”. I used six colors metal nails distribute on a rectangular board, through the location of different color nails, it is bring us a rhythm by colors. This artwork is trying to explore how “rhythm” can be representing on a static state platform.

By now, I am exploring more possibility between visual art and performing arts. I try to explore the materials from daily life incorporate into my artworks. And also, I will try to do installation art, use the space to present my idea. Some more, I will explore sounds in daily life, after that restructuring them into a song and a visual artwork.
