Vanished before the wind has come
Every time I walk on Shanghai Street to buy hardware parts, I look at the shophouses around me.
With the time devouring up a bit of the color defining prosperity every day, I try to wipe with slight force the memories of guarding the city at the corner of the street.

擦色騎不了士
每次走在上海街買五金材料，望望周圍的騎樓。
時間每日吃掉了一點繁華顏色，嘗試在街角輕擦守衛城市的記憶。

Artist:
Cathleen Lau is a Hong Kong-based artist who is devoted to developing her artworks with new concepts in sculpting space. She engages in producing sculpture complemented by large scale cross-media installations.
Cathleen graduated from the Hong Kong Art School (RMIT), majoring in sculpture. Her works explore the possibility of breaking through the inertia of sculpting materials. Her interests as well include constantly inventing “sustainable and renewable” substances. She is now molding and carving wood with inverted material that is in the form of sawdust, re-sculpting space with particular attention to materials and atmosphere. Her strength has been that of creating mixed-media sculptures and installations with different media carvings in the melting pot of new materials, light and shadow to present another set of conceivable atmospheres, through integrating the audience.
Cathleen received the scholarship program in her Bachelor’s degree, Reaching Out Scholarship which took her to Japan in order to experience Japanese culture extensively. She has exhibited multiple works, awarded Directors Choice Award 2018 Human Rights Art Prize, and also exhibited in Affordable Art Fair Young Talent 2018. In 2016, she awarded with Selected Artwork Prize in Taipei Art Free Fair, and in 2015 awarded “The Best Art Work (Sculpture) ”. Her works have been exhibited in Switzerland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
