In the works from the Cat\u2019s Cradle series, the use of translucent vellum enhances\u00a0this sense of depth and space to create an illusion of chronological distance along with\u00a0physical distance between the parts. In a process of constant refinement, working within\u00a0a minimalist aesthetic pushes me to edit continuously, so that only the most potent\u00a0elements and drivers of narratives are fixed to the page..\u00a0More philosophically, the notions of taking up space and giving space are fascinating\u00a0things to unpack in this time of Canada\u2019s Truth and Reconciliation Commission; diasporic\u00a0art movements; projects to decolonize brown and black bodies and honour indigenous\u00a0and ancestral knowledge and culture; self-care as acts of resistance; and a growing\u00a0awareness towards a truly inclusive feminism. What does it mean to take up and give\u00a0space as a woman, as a person of the Filipinx-diaspora, as someone influenced by the\u00a0works and writings of artists of the African-diaspora, as an arrivant on unceded land, as an\u00a0artist using my own quiet voice? My recent works are meditations on these questions.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><em>Exhale. <\/em>Happy Friday.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, so delicate, elegant, quiet &#8230; collages that inspire me to stop for a moment, simply to breathe.
