Endless
Dream by Edie Tsong |
|||
Art is for me a sensual cosmology. Through observation and simple craft, I come to a better understanding of the world, and therefore, my own identity. While I may work in any variety of materials, I like to use objects that I naturally accumulate (magazines, newspapers, shopping lists, etc.) because they are already invested with both personal and cultural significance. Through dull, repetitive craft, I reconfigure culture in order to reveal an alternative or overlooked meaning.

Edie Tsong was born on the island of Lombok, in Indonesia, but in her infancy lost her parents in outbreak of sleeping sickness. She was adopted by a wealthy, socialite, lesbian couple in Manhattan, who raised her as a boy, and directed her into sports and academics. These early interpolations inform her installations and their directed visual force against the "senseless complication", which Tsong calls "the prima materia of contemporary consumer alienation." Edie Tsong lives in Baton Rouge with her five monkeys. Email: edie@turbodog.org |
