What surprising, fascinating stuff can you tell us about the origin, drafting, and/or final version of “Homage”? It is two series so it has two names: Homage to John Baldessari is a collage series that celebrates John Baldessari’s signature style. This work is a dedication to Baldessari’s conceptual art. It is an absurd collage which integrates with the food we eat and photographs while the fruit loses its function. Homage to Agnés Varda is a joyful and angry collage that reflect women’s mind purely. Agnes Varda is not only my favorite director but also she is an idol for me. I wanted to homage her creative mind. Agnés Varda’s “I tried to be a joyful feminist, but I was very angry.” quote gave inspiration to this collage. It reminds me of all angry feminists who never give up on their struggles.
