Fascinated by its divergent narrative that these two spaces hold, the fragmentation of my memories in Malaysia fused with the idiosyncratic features of Australian culture had inspired the creation of a visual amalgam. In search of that fine threshold, I explore the surfaces of the city in Malaysia - the rural shopfronts, the skin of buildings, the doorways, the curbs; witnessing how we inhabit the chaos of the city, and how the chaos inhabits us. Yet, whilst we do see the apparent disorder invading every corner, there is a sense of safety and ease of that at home. Through the emphasis on the reciprocal relationship between artistic practices and mechanisms of display, these structure and paintings attempt to merge the fragility of the past with the certainty of today, so as to rekindle with a new form of familiarity tinged with a sense of nostalgia.
