Pamela Leung is a Sydney based artist
whose work is focused on installation working with everyday objects and
materials as her medium. Her
work is the culmination of shifts in experience, confrontation and cultural
Diasporas’. Not Another Bloody Coffee Shop
addresses themes of relational aesthetics within an existing social context
and the community environment generated within café culture.
Leung’s
personal history, having moved from Hong Kong to Sydney in the 1970s,
has added a dimension to the way she sees the world. Pamela enjoys a dual
identity that is in her own words “Westernised” but intrinsically tied to
her Chinese cultural heritage. Leung’s preference for using the colour red
refers to cultural, spiritual and traditional memories as well as themes
of meditation, Zen, emotion and the ordinariness of everyday life. Often
Leung brings together found materials with a zesty placement of red in
each construction.
