"Anna May Wong (1905-1961) was the first Chinese
American movie star, and the first Asian American
actress to gain international recognition. She
symbolises an age where boundaries were being
overcome. Now we seem to be in a time where
boundaries are being put back up.
I have been captivated by the striking images
of movie stars for many years. They have such
strong faces that imprint on your mind. By contrast
it seems now that everyone looks so similar, as
if there has been some sort of loss of individuality.
This piece is a celebration of strength, individuality
and the breaking down of barriers."
