In my work, figures of women and children often exist in a vacuum, stark figures against untouched paper. I suspect my artwork looks the way it does because of my personal experience of displacement. I am a double immigrant: my grandparents were from mainland China but exiled to Taiwan where they raised my parents and then me until we three moved to America. I spent my formative years in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and Maryland. Until junior high, I was often the only Asian face in my class. My parents and I carried our culture within ourselves, disconnected from our physical reality. My artwork continues this state in material form. My characters have little need for a physical setting because they exist in a psychological and not a concrete realm.
