A tiny itch, like a sediment in the body, mind, and the everyday, as if it came up to the surface of them, or haunted them...

​

This work, or group of pieces, which I first created at the start of my postgraduate studies, was conducted quite intuitively, rather than a conceptualizing too much ahead, being intended as investigation of my own visual thinking. 

There, I could find my interest in the organic visual expression that emerges from the layers of creative properties - objects and materials, i.e., " the surfaces and fabrics of the everyday," the images, and/or the little act of inserting those images to them. (This could be connected to my background in dyeing). At that time, I was beginning to consider something like "the aesthetics of smallness/modesty" as a methodology and theme of mine, and in the process, the direction of my practice was solidifying; such as the surfacing of trivial feelings, thoughts, and memories that flow as they mingle with everyday life, and the emphasis on fragmentary, simultaneous, and multiple surfacing of emotions, memories, and perceptual play, rather than forming a clear narrative. The method of exhibiting the works in the backyard and numbering them was also intuitive, but it was full of suggestion about how I want to see the world and art, and this flat, non-hierarchical exhibition style was carried on to my later installation.
