When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Gets Going - Reminders to Self, 2018, Mixed Medium, 66 x 38 cm each.
2018 has been quite a year for the artist. Experiencing major changes in her life, both on the career and family fronts, she needed some personal mantra to live by and keep herself going. Instead of writing them out as one would normally do, text is translated to imageries and the series of work serves as visual reminders for the artist.
The visuals’ main subject matter is the human form and they take on various poses, often amid play or sports. However, the meaning of each artwork lies in the details, whereby it adds on another layer of meaning to the otherwise normal activity and is up for interpretation by the viewers.
Various mediums are employed to create the pieces, incorporating not just printmaking techniques such as monoprint, silkscreen but also drawing and collage.
