CHILD’S PLAY (IN PROGRESS)
Child’s Play is a body of work (collage-based paintings and installation) and community arts programming (inner-child collage workshops) that documents my inner-child healing through ‘play.’ These works are inspired by personal photos from family photo albums and influential friendships in my life. I incorporate mixed media, visual recordings taken during the creative process, and repurposed canvas from older studies of the TEAL Collection to emphasize the necessity of the past into the present while emphasizing play back into my daily practice in real time. As I find home in myself, I cultivate my own sense of belonging and celebrate my inner child Mahyue through sharing her stories.
