White China,
1993
White China, detail-stainless steel plates, spoons, plates-18 cm
diameter, text = The Lord’s Prayer in Chinese. White China is a
work which presents the fragile psychology of a child subject to
colonialism. This work invokes the memories of my years spent in
a Catholic school in Hong Kong under the rigorous discipline of
Chinese nuns whose goal was to indoctrinate me with Christianity.
My parents however, only wished that I could learn English.
