Due to my cross-cultural background, during my MFA studies program I was interested in the Asian gay anime subculture. As a beneficiary of this subculture, my work focuses on claiming feminist-queer rights for its’ female fans through interdisciplinary expression, including performative video, painting and abstraction. Based on the gender and sexual politics of the 21st century and my queer identity, I use a queering methodology to respond to a series of artistic genres, such as abstraction, minimalism, formalism and performance art. Queering has provided an extremely significant perspective in my projects throughout these two years. Combining queering methodology's application, and creating dynamic visual languages to transmit vitality to the audience, is an effective strategy to advertise a neologism – which I term 'fujoshilism'. Fujoshilism is a belief in reasonably enjoying and consuming anime products that satisfy female requirements for intimate relationships and love, and constructs a high-quality and independent mental life for 'new women' that challenges patriarchy and advocates for a feminist-queer concept.

I have been collaborating with Louise Jennison since 1999, making artists’ books, collages, large-scale installations, prints, drawings, zines, and various tales. Besotted still, it appears, with paper for its adaptable, concealable, revealing nature, we use an armoury of play, the poetic and familiar too, with the intention of luring you into our A(rtists’ books) to Z(ines).

As artists and wildlife carers, our practice frequently concerns the natural world, addressing themes of conservation and biodiversity. Our home-based studio is also home to our wildlife shelter, Tiny but Wild.

I collage with words about dance for Fjord Review.
