Artist's statement
I am a visual artist based in Manchester. I use my Chinese cultural background as a position to question the dogma of authenticity and to engage with affinity and difference. My art practice focuses on two main themes: issues surrounding immigration, and food as a medium for communication. I am interested in the first because people have always moved irrespective of borders and the latter because cultural specific food crosses boundaries easily.
