About this work
Description
"The book focuses on the medium of drawing which is integral to the artist’s practice. Drawings relate to our very first experiences of making art: the first childhood notebook, inks and pencils. Drawings rely both on collective memory and individual perception: the objects and creatures they depict grow into many forms and awaken different things in different viewers. Across the series of drawings, shared emotions arise: joy, sadness, longing. We are used to seeing these as something simple, the primary colours of existence – yet each carries a complex imprint of who we are. The drawings in the book reflect on the experience of growing up as a queer person of colour in a predominantly white environment and explore the themes of family, memory, belonging, immigration, queerness, desire, non-linear narratives and hybrid identities."--publisher's website.
