ZINE: Holiday, now

FEAST: Holiday, Now celebrates the Royal College of Art’s 1st year Painting students’ personal narratives, practices and visions in response to this year’s holiday season. Providing a peek behind the scenes at our community as it continues to develop through lockdowns and webcams, these pages aim to offer a broader acknowledgement of the festive season through the lens of our practices. Aside from cheer and merriment - or indeed instead of them - “holiday” feelings may well include loneliness, reunion, darkness, warmth, mourning, love, introspection or reflections on the year that passed. Sending love, from all of us to you.

My recent work is about seduction,

desire and freedom;

everything around sex but little

to do with the bland action of

fucking. (but sometimes raw fucking

is okay too). I’m also interested

in the conflict between personal desire

and collective expectations; desperation

for love and intimacy

in a repressed environment.

I am currently on the search and in

the making of mundane but shockingly

sexually charged moments.

In a way these moments are anthropomorphic.

It’s like when a feeling is so intense,

it grows its own consciousness and crystallizes itself into a being.

Here are Chang Bai and Cindy, They are a couple.

Chang Bai exists on a giant raw duck cotton canvas, Cindy only

exists in the digital world.

Their love is very inconvenient.
