It combines common family memories through drawings of vintage America, with photographs of the Chinese households of my family in Brooklyn, NY. Although the memories are common and can be interpreted through many different cultures, the drawings derive from images of 1950s suburban America where the role of the female identity is focused on tending to the family. Combining the two layers of mediums, the images become weavings of Eastern and Western idioms. Website: |
