Cultural Change
This work is a perceptual drawing of the space in Museum of Chinese Australian History. 'Cultural Change' was part of the exhibition 'Eight ways of Being Here', held at the Museum of Chinese Australian History, (19th August- 2 September)
This drawing represents my perceptual change from a very Chinese perceptual understanding to a more westernized perception as I grew up in Australia. At some points my perceptual understanding was a mixture of both western and Chinese views however eventually ending with an primarily western perception.
