Artist's Statement:What I try to do is to "record" or "restore" a certain kind of intuition rather than symbolizing or making metaphor of some "subject". What I am interested in is the public experience of the action of scratching an itch. The public sense does not need to be explained. It causes a mixture of racial, sexual and cultural differences and provides hence possibilities for communication and exchange between people. I believe deeply that there is a profound universality in the nature of man. The universality comes from man's basic needs, sensations and reactions. It's perpetual. It is based on this point that art is still meaningful today. For further information, please contact: |
