the Garden Path<br />

Cyrus,<br />

Wai Kuen Tang<br />

Imagine going into a<br />

house which is out of this<br />

world. Nobody is there.<br />

You open the doors and<br />

there are things that may<br />

belong to somebody else<br />

yet they speak to you.<br />

Can they really speak Or<br />

is it actually the projection<br />

of your own fantasy<br />

This installation intends to<br />

create a mysterious and<br />

uncanny journey into<br />

childhood memories and<br />

our fantasy which is<br />

sparkling but fleeting.<br />

Finding Wonderland<br />

Old building materials & glass, 2007<br />

2 cubic metres<br />

Cyrus, Wai Kuen Tang migrated to Australia in 2003 and graduated<br />

from the Victorian College of the <strong>Arts</strong> in 2004. Since then she has been<br />

working to develop her career, completing an artist residency in<br />

Tokoname in Japan in 2005 and exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions<br />

most recently Stephen McLaughlan Gallery and Westspace Gallery. As<br />

an Asian immigrant, she intends to create a dialogue between east and<br />

the west culture, reflecting her struggle to start her new life and the<br />

interchange between the past and the present. She is currently<br />

studying for her Masters at Monash University, and recently completed<br />

a commissioned project for the Frankston City Council.<br />
