black-out poem series, paper, paint

2018, 2023

'Revision' is an act of collecting and reviewing memory, a remake of meanings from found archival objects. By selectively painting over texts on school worksheets and exam papers, the often standardised materials are appropriated and redefined by my personal narratives. Started in 2018, the project was made upon secondary school graduation and it was revisited 5 years later upon University graduation. Spanning across years, the slow process of the work contrasts with the short intense time that students were given in tests and exams, challenging the existing norms of current education system.
