Inspired by transcultural experiences of the yearly celebration, family histories and migration, Chau-Morrow will show a new body of 2D and 3D work, including custom cakes (part artwork, part foodstuff). By recreating objects from memory and pairing them with collected items from interactions, Chau-Morrow re-contextualises objects of lineage to explore the nuances of replication and authenticity. With a focus on lived experiences and memory, 'the physical works become a marker of these times much like a postcard or souvenir'.
My last time there was in 2021.
I’m sitting at the kitchen table, where I will eat nearly every day for the next six weeks. I can hear the clinking of game pieces in the basement all evening. I would go to sleep much earlier than I do now, and when I wake in the morning, I go down to the basement. There is no one there, just what remains from the previous evening.
Every visit reintroduces me to things I've known from the past, yet a single action shuffles their meaning.
When I’m there we always visit the same four restaurants depending on the occasion, and two feature fish tanks or ponds. I always visit these fish, wondering if they remembered me from last time. Or if they were the same fish. Or if it matters.
Years later, I visit Macau (because of recommendation) for the first time on a trip to Hong Kong. The island is home to much authentic and imitation European architecture, alongside replicas of landmarks from around the world.
*All materials in this show are collected from location/interactions or are replicas of existing objects*
