"The places in my painting like the swimming pool, beach,
and secret garden become elements for me to play with, connect and disconnect, put
together and tear apart. They have real locations but exist outside of the real world, as
Foucault said of Heterotopia, as a physical approximation of the imaginary utopia. I
want my paintings to be a pathway to an ambiguous place, an undefinable place, a
place in between. I imagine this strange and mysterious world made up of many thin
layers, which are both inside and outside. Ordinary and extraordinary. Fleeting and
eternal."
