This is what Kitty Ng has to say. "My work seemingly focuses on the ordinary moments of everyday life—fleeting, insignificant instances carry more than they show. However, I’m more interested in how they affect us across time, how we recall them, and how our memory takes on colors, hues, and reinterpretations years apart as fragmented images.
In our explorations of what it is that we remember, we reconstruct, reconfigure, mix up, blend together, and re-create images of the past. These images we see today are both a representation and a misrepresentation of what we remember and what we care about. As such, in my work, I am explicitly in conversation with the subconscious connotations of history (Lacan and Freud), the historical affects of history (Fischer, Marx, and Hegel), and the limits/limitations of photography (Sontag and Barthes).
My process begins with a base color, chosen intuitively to represent the emotional tone of the memory. The selection of additional colors is also proto-automatic, driven by how the memory evolves as I reflect on it. I build layers, allowing some colors to dominate while others peek through as an expression of the je ne sais quoi, the inexpressible, or Liu Bai. My goal is to use color and space to evoke an atemporal atmosphere that is difficult to encompass in language, something that is both dynamic and evolving, complete and incomplete."
