Personal Illustrations
My creative process usually starts with real-life observation and sketchbook, and then I carry these ideas onto my laptop and iPad to explore more visual possibilities. As an artist in the modern world, I still enjoy experimenting with different materials, but I also try to make use of technology by playing with different compositions and textures. My inspirations also come both from reality and the Internet – for example, I love people-watching and observing their outfits on the street, but at the same time, I always look up some of my favorite brands’ seasonal runway lookbooks for inspirations and be nerdy about some fashion origins.
On Display - Guilty Pleasure
Exhibition at Sol Koffler Gallery in Providence, RI Since last July, I have been trying to integrate my healthcare and journalistic background into my artwork and working on my MFA thesis project around the theme of womanhood and femininity, inspired by both my personal experiences and scientific research. I use the notion of “guilty pleasure” to explore why it affects more women’s psyches than men’s, how this concept shapes women’s perspectives on their bodies and health, and how it is used in advertisements in Western consumer culture. I am interested in how the narrative changes when putting these two opposite words, “guilt” and “pleasure,” next to each other, and I am more than curious to know what factors make women feel guilty about their indulgence and the reasons behind it.
