'Dance This Mess Around' Sara Blakeman

"China has tested my creative process. I embrace some aspects and struggle with others, and I’ve transformed this wonder and frustration into paper construction. I've used Chinese traditional auspicious motifs as a starting point. They permeate and combine with my own visual vocabulary and fetishes (candy, the “culture of cute”, science fiction) to create a diorama of charms that is both a dance of good luck and a ritual for processing and surrendering to the impact of Chinese culture. "
