Extinction: Save the Planet 2022

An International Group Exhibition

Friday 22 April to Sunday 22 May



Title: Leftover 2021

Year: 2021

Media: Silk Gauze, Goose Down, Hair Extension

Size: 22”H x 13”W x 4”D, 55 x 32 x 10 (cm)


In 2018, I made a work called Leftover with the same title as this time. I made three skulls by gluing silk gauze in the same way as last time, but this time,I planted individual hairs on the skull and pierced a small lump of goose down made like beads. The three skulls were braided at the ends of the hair.

I observed a dead bird. The bird lost its shape in four or five days, leaving only bones and feathers at the end. These skulls, hairs and feathers are metaphors of the impermanence and insubstantiality of all life.

This work is a reproduction of the theme of the previous work, and was made using the materials used last time, reusing hair extensions, and using goose down from old duvets that are household waste. They meet the concepts of reuse, reduction and recycling.
