Cloud is just a mixed-up girl who is figuring things out. She misses her dad, who is now in heaven, and hopes he is proud of her. [Cloud is the literal interpretation of my middle name, yún (云), lovingly given to me by my Chinese mother, and lovingly misspelled by my white father. My work is heavily performative, and I use alter egos to face and rewrite personal trauma relating to race, culture and gender. To be perfectly honest I get bored easily, so I juggle many mediums – painting, drawing, performance, video, sculpture, sound, etc. – whatever helps me get my ideas out there, whatever helps me process stuff. In August this year, my dad became very unwell, and he passed away in October. My family and I miss him very much. This is a fraction of the body of work I produced this semester, and it’s all a tribute to him.]
