Well Wishers


Well Wishers, 1992
detail - photoletraset, towels. A 1900 composite of the Chinese Empire Association - an archival photograph from Vancouver Public Library # 26691. This installation focuses on the Chinese back in the early 1900 when the population was almost entirely male. In this work I am examining the complexities of dealing with racism and discrimination. All the objects in this work relates to the Chinese notion of face which teaches the importance of maintaining integrity when confronting ones enemies.One must keep face , have face and save face.
