Resolved (Taking My Family Apart, 2012) (2016) is two channel installation. It features a modified industrial sewing machine which projects a previous project Taking My Family Apart (2012) in which I take apart an old sewing machine that belonged to my grandfather’s factory in Hong Kong. It was a gesture that alludes to the trope of destruction and desecration often found in post-modern art practices, such as Sofia Hultén’s Fuck It Up and Start Again (2001). It was a desire to dismantle the old in order to make room for the new, something that is often explored (and at times explicit) in my work. Resolved (Taking My Family Apart, 2012), is a homage to my relationship with art and my family and its history. The old sewing machine is restored and becomes the apparatus that encases the new projector. It serves as a nest, not only protecting but nurturing as well. On the side is another display which is a recording of the restoration process and the installation of the projector, providing a kind of reconciliation to the piece, linking destruction to healing.
