Domestic Abstractions at Silverlens, Makati

I am so excited to share my new body of work titled Domestic Abstractions, on view at Silverlens Makati from 9 September to 25 September, and also online through the gallery’s Viewing Room.

The exhibit consists of 20 intimately scaled panel paintings. Each painting has an intricately detailed surface, made by the digital optical tool of a laser machine and then layered with acrylic washes on top of a gesso ground. This rigorous consistency of the framework appears to be a conceptual process, but within these systematic conditions opens up the possibilities of exploring a pictorial world.

Together the works examine themes of family, narration, diaspora, repair, and remediation in art. My personal narrative is a driving force in my process, while my explorations on repair is a way for me to look at my past so as to identify my relationship with the present.
