JeannieYip’s multi-media sculptural works are tied together by the common language of dissecting and deconstructing, returning to an attempt to revive, resurrect, and reassemble. Through her constructed visual narratives, she probes the constantly shifting lines between memory and identity, fiction and truth. Yip’s untitled video installation for In:View documents her process of slowly unweaving a length of raw crimson-dyed fabric, stripping it apart thread by thread, leaving a luxurious mound of silk threads which are then put through countless cycles of washing and bleaching to remove the red dye, returning it eventually to its natural hue. The video of this process is projected upon the resulting ‘relic,’ a heap of tangled threads which Yip has combed and separated to prepare for the reweaving. Yip is a recent (2001) BFA graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. |
