lesbianartandartists: Donna Han, Extra Sensual Purge, 1995“Donna Han, a second-generation Korean American, uses traditional women’s craft materials and techniques to explore dislocation, separation from self and home, and conflict between collective social expectations and individual dreams and desires. She works with found materials because they are cheap and because they help her bridge disparate worlds, and build new concepts of home by finding threads that connect the inner, outer, and under worlds. Found materials, like past experiences remembered, explains Han, are recycled debris given new life.”Harmony Hammond, Lesbian Art in America, 171 -- source link
