Erasing News: While the Stump Traces a Woman’s Body by Sophie Hing Yee Cheung
£5,000.00
The Erasing News series involves the act of rubbing erasers onto newsprint. The use of erasers is an act of simultaneous addition and subtraction, as they take on the impact of the print, whilst losing some of their own volume. For the first time, the artist wrapped the newspaper around household objects, lending new contours to the creation process.
For Cheung, plasticity is an aspirational characteristic, informing both her understanding of human nature and her navigation of new artistic possibilities. Her passion for the process of evolving, of immersing the past into the present, and of embracing frailty may be understood in the context of her own lived experiences with mental health diagnosis, treatment and advocacy. The artist focuses on various concepts related to dignity. She believes that dignity pertains to evolving into an original and organic form, while also adapting to climate variations, social intervention, and the laws of nature. She thereby explores how humans can truly affirm subjectivity and become a whole person. ‘Erasing News: While the Stump Traces a Woman’s Body’ (2024) is a sinuous work of newsprint and empty space, which was inspired by the artist’s visit to the former studio of Lucian Freud in London, and her own background in life painting in Chinese ink.
