Tang Kwok-Hin - Art with layers!



Tang Kwok-Hin has come up with a very unique and interesting way of creating art, by using glass to create a certain layered, 3D, vellum effect. 

I feel these pieces really play with your perception, the layered effect creates a "foggy" feel to the pieces. This creates a "dream-like" state, which adds a mystical element to her piece. However it also has the opposite effects and creates a "cold" and "austere" atmosphere, the characters are surrounded in this fog, further enhanced by the plain white background, which is slightly claustrophobic. Further complementing this is how the characters are translucent, and ghost like, like your watching a scene from the past through someones memories, memories which are fragile and intangible and have that "translucent" effect in you head as they fade with age.

I was interested in this artist in relation to my project because of how they manipulated the medium of glass to create art with dimensions.
