About the artist / Artist's Statement
“Ye’s practice resists the impulse to privilege certain processes as artistic specialisations estranged from the efforts of common and everyday activities. The collapsing of boundaries, between recommended high or fine art materials and processes and those available in any household implies a ’levelling-out’ criteria - designating one genre of materials/process to the same status (and importance) as the other. For the artist, both ’classes’ of materials/process are profoundly inter-related - investing in one effectively sensitises us to the other.” - Excerpts from “a small collection of wind, sound and breath”, an essay in OPEN2002 catalogue, by Lindy Poh, an independent curator.
