Residency at Fremantle Art Centre

My late grandmother left me her mooncake mold and I’ve never once looked at it as a cooking utensil because it is such a beautiful functional sculpture. It tells a story about festivity, culture, community, reunion, identity, family gatherings, mythology and many more auspicious beliefs.

During my residency at Fremantle Art Centre, I will be investigating ways to explore mold making and/or replicating the mooncake molds and/or reinterpret my own mooncake mold with my immigrant identity (and including other playful experimentations with paper). There are so many facets to this journey and I hope to share this journey with the Broome Chinese Community in 2021.
