Artist statement

I am a Vietnamese American multidisciplinary artist. Drawing inspiration from the shuffling, cross-cultural entanglements and everyday manifestations of identity, memory, and displacement, I work through diverse media - sculpture, mixed-media installation, and performance. My story as a refugee and immigrant is often a starting point, and then I expand from there. Over time, I’ve tried to learn how to hold the specificity of my experience in tension with a desire to connect with the more universal dimensions of human experience. The subjects of Identity, Consciousness and Othering are constant in my work. I hope to construct spaces within which the ever-changing, always unfinished meanings of selfhood can be explored, subverted, and reimagined.
