“Pure was I created, and pure will I remain for ever. I would rather be burnt and turn to white ashes than suffer darkness to touch me or the unclean to come near me.

The ink-bottle heard what the paper was saying, and it laughed in its dark heart; but it never dared to approach her. And the multi-coloured pencils heard her also, and they too never came near her.

And the snow-white sheet of paper did remain pure and chaste for ever, pure and chaste – and empty.” -Kahlil Gibran

This all white exhibition concentrates on the affective nature of art by exploring the work’s appeal to the emotional receptiveness of viewers. The presence of personally symbolic substances or objects is to trace the passage of events, spaces, and memories that makeup a lifetime.

Wai Kuen (Cyrus) Tang was born in Hong Kong and migrated to Australia recently. She was graduated from VCA School of Art in 2004 and continues her Master of Fine Arts (Research) in Monash University. Most of her works are attempted to investigate the relationship between objects and objects and objects and space in the sculptural installations.
