This work belongs to 'The Divination project', an ongoing series of work responding to my meetings with spiritual readers. Jack, a Los Angeles psychic says "I see your work as poaching relics from the future. Please look after your early work as they will become priceless artefacts." #psychic #psychicreading #font #divinematerial #blackasmethod. Photo credit @mlbrightphotos

BAI BAI today, 2019, photographic print, 1000 x 15

BAI BAI today, 2019, photographic print, 1000 x 1500mm BAI BAI Today is my reflective response to the Daoist idea of sharing the present moment, both time and space, with ancestors and the divine. A natural continuation of my exploration into spiritual philosophies, rituals and different ways of knowing.
Taitung Art Museum hosted me as artist-in-residence in the lush green province of Southern Taiwan during Ghost Month, the seventh lunar month of the Daoist and Buddhist calendar. At this time it is believed the gates of hell are wide open and ghosts roam free. During the project's research, I visited fortune-tellers, ornate temples, churches, and joined vibrant festivals and rituals. However, it was the domestic-scale ancestor worship known as Bai Bai that I was most drawn too. Families and businesses assemble small tables in the street with food, incense and symbolic objects as offerings to soothe wandering ghosts. #ashburtonartgallery #zonta #taitung #taiwan #asianewzealandfoundation
