In this ongoing series of artworks, I search for, choose, bring together, borrow and purchase the works of other artists, made at different times and coming from a variety of sources. They could be woodblock prints, photographs, sculptures, ink wash paintings and so on. Instead of creating something completely new on my own, I give each of these works a frame or a plinth on which I sign my own name. In doing so, I claim my own identity as an artist by appearing in the company of these works of other artists. Their juxtaposition is not entirely coincidental, but rather a decision based on careful consideration. In appearance, they are not harmonious or unified, but rather collide with or appear irrelevant towards each other. They reflect the complex position I find myself in. The process of choosing works for this project is one of constantly contemplating and fighting against my own taste. The predicament I am in is not only concerned with this particular series, but can be extended to the general condition of being an artist. How does one choose to “represent” himself or herself in public?
