My work often compares the micro sensibility in our mind with the macro interpretation beyond our visual capacity. Breaking down the image to pure time, light, and motion, the video projection in .03854 transports a coexisting moment of real life experience from the artist in Beijing to the Dalton Gallery location in the United States. Using an ultrasonic emitter, a montage of sound journeys also refract across the surface of the sculptural elements bouncing sound in the equivalent patterns of the video. The title, .03854, derives from the fraction of a second it takes light to travel from Beijing to Atlanta, highlighting the elemental breakdown of each moment, person, and place within a much larger universe. In the sculptural aspects of the work, I look at the distortion and reflective balances involved. No person is a static entity and therefore is introduced to themselves in these dipping and swaying ways. It is the pattern of change, choice and experience. |

.03854 is a reflection of my sculptural use of the distorted self-image and an interest in our perception of reality in relation to virtual space and the negation of time. While conceptually introducing the viewer to a more abstract self-image, numerous simultaneous views also examine my own presence in the duality of locations while working in Beijing, China. |
