Home Away From Home

ISB | lino print | 25 x 75 cm

I created a Lino series, 3 Lino’s each representing a country I’ve lived in but am not from; Thailand, Singapore and Tokyo. These 3 places although I haven’t lived in them for long, have become apart of me and the people, places and culture of these 3 countries have helped shaped who I am as a person, and they’re all countries which I have learnt to love. They’re apart of my identity, and although I’m not from these places, they’ve become my home and will cherish these memories forever. Each Lino print represents something from each country, something special from my specific experience of living here and I think using linoleum as away to represent small details that canoe shown through carving, and that’s why I chose lino as my media because I can choose whatever I want to carve and everything I carve, something I choose to leave in or out is very significant.
