Abstract artwork featuring swirling textures in black, gray, and turquoise, with accents of gold.

I seek to create works that are decisively tactile and hand-made; unique gestures of mark-making; shared moments, shared meals and live collaborations that are singular and unrepeatable. The death of my late grandmother led me to start using traditional Filipino brooms and household tools as alternative means of mark-making. As a substitute for the typical paintbrush, these make-shift brushes serves as a homage that unites the movements of drawing, sweeping and erasure with the shared memories of labour, sacrifice and hospitality embedded within the Filipino imagination. These brushes also allow for fascinating movements of the drawn line, the connected bristles move in unison creating rows of parallel strokes evoking ripples of water. Waves of water is depicted in this piece folding in and out, layers of waves rushing from the left to the right of the picture, only to be collapsed below or thrown above into the sky. — _{Patong-Patong (2024)
