JACELYN YAP
Artist’s Statement
Where You Are is based on a desire for connection, and was created when COVID restrictions were limiting social interactions, although the sentiment still remains today, as many other factors in adulthood (and life in general) get in the way of that.
Look Back is based on an uncomfortable sense of being perceived by others, especially as I’ve recently joined the creative industry without having a background in art (very STEM-focused all my life previously).
Pseudomorph: A pseudomorph results “from a substitution process in which the appearance and dimensions remain constant, but the original mineral is replaced by another. The name literally means <false form>.” (Wikipedia).
Jacelyn recently started her creative career proper, having persevered through an engineering major and a short stint as a civil servant. Her artworks have appeared in adda and Sine Theta Magazine. She can be found at https://jacelyn.myportfolio.com or on Instagram at @jacelyn.makes.stuff
