Missing, 19” x 23”
Most recently featured in New Art Center’s 2025 Sensory Garden Exhibition curated by Chenoa Baker. Previously featured in the Gather Exhibition curated by Claudia Fiks via Juniper Rag.
Missing reflects the artist’s desire to reconnect with her deceased grandfather through a familiar act of love– pouring tea at dim sum
The poured tea sheds light on the memories we consume at this table. Our empty hand means to serve tea to someone who is no longer there, while our own cup sits empty. The teardrop of tea slithers down our hand holding an invisible cup, recalling the (wasted) energy we pour into grieving. Intimate and personal, this gathering captures the conflict between yearning to reconnect and the inability to move on from the past
While the tea illuminates the past represented by the photo of the artist’s grandfather, it also casts an eerie claw-like shadow like the memories that grip us. Would our efforts be better spent poured into our own teacup?
This 12” x 16” oil on linen ACM panel painting is housed in a solid wood black frame. Total dimensions including frame: 19” x 23”
Framing wire installed, this work is ready to hang
