EVELYN//REPETITION IN MANUFACTURING


Plato gets a lesson in his own geometry. Promotional image for Tetra Pak, 1960s.

In the last post, time is shown through the effect of the state of ink (art material). Talking about repetition, I have to bring up repetition in manufacturing. Unlike screenprints, there are only tiny differences in products, that can not be noticed. The production is a process of copy & paste. I am fascinated by the shape of the triangle milk package in the promotional image for Tetra Pak (1960s). Duration in this case is the life of machines and the number of materials. Time starts when the machine switches on, and it ends when it runs out of power or materials for the products.

Time, dreams and natural forms are the main subjects of my art. I work with multimedia, painting and video are the most common techniques. Although I transferred from a painter to a video artist, painting is still an important element of my work. My videos are combinations of paintings, photography, and films. Influenced by animation, I like flat colours and a clean outline. Also, I edit images to be brighter which gives a visual sparseness and vibrant luminosity. My art is the shadow of myself. They show my background, experience, personality, and emotions. My ethnicity is Chinese and my family belief is Buddhism; I studied at a Christian college in Hong Kong. In 2017, I came to the UK to study art. The conflict between western and eastern cultures become an inspiration in my art career. Moreover, I like travelling. I always bring my camera and sketchbook with me to create art diaries.
