About the event
‘Drifting Fragments on the Sea Shore’ is a collaborative project by Joanne and Jessie. Allured to casual conversations touching on personal memories, imagination and research about islands, the pair initiated a project to write an alternative historical narrative — one deeply rooted in a place.
Encapsulated with a series of postcards, letters, diaries, drawings, found objects and photos, this small archive will be home to the long-lost memories and stories of the islands.
About the artists:
Law Sze Wing (b.1994 in Hong Kong) grew up on a small island, which is close to nature, with a slow pace of life. Strolling and observing plants are her favourite things to do. She is fascinated by and grateful for everything nature offers.
Jessie Tam (b.1993 in Hong Kong) listens to the unheard voice of unwanted materials. Drawings are significant to her practice where she sews up the gaps between personal memories and life’s realities. Navigating her creative journey abroad, she is now working and living in Manchester, the United Kingdom.
