Tracing Memory (0n-going), 2016 -

Drawing on mylar paper
Tracing Memory is an on-going drawing project. I’m using personal photographs that are banal, yet hold significant meanings in my life. By tracing the outlines of the image, I am erasing the identification of people (features, ethnicity, gender, etc.) in the photographs and leaving only the surroundings visible. I am intrigued to see if the site/location/surrounding can offer enough information on the stories behind each photograph.

The act of tracing by hand is a slow and methodical, and intimate experience. In contrast, the drawings on a piece of metal are done by laser-cut technique, which is a fast and mechanical process. This process further erases details from the hand-traced drawings.
