A common thread in my
work has been an interrogation into the boundaries set between
the artwork, artist and audience. Alongside this I explore social
and relational aesthetic issues in art, examining how the audience
can participate in the process of art-making. I am interested in
how art can foreground social issues and push the boundaries of
what is usually designated 'community art'.
These interests have recently been applied to the creation of the
project British Born Chinese Lesbian and
the website www.bbclesbian.co.uk,
which is an attempt to make visible the UK Chinese lesbian community,
as well as Big Sister,
an interactive installation that I ran as part of my residency at
the Chinese Arts Centre.
It has been from my personal dialogues with women from British
Born Chinese Lesbian that signals both a personal
new way of working and thinking using video and sound, and issues
that touch upon the British
Born Chinese identity.
I am currently working as Learning Co-ordinator at the Chinese Arts
Centre - Manchester.
