The Chinese characters equivalent to "Ha Ha..." emblazon the work "Attitude". Cold white neon offers a bleak, isolating effect juxtaposed against the neutral environment of polished stainless steel. Attitude laughs at what? Is there laughter in Attitude? A joyless mechanism with a jagged cloud surrounding the two words would seem to place an emphasis on either the joy or humour of life and art which replicates the tone of laughter. In its place, we are presented with a work whose title and content stimulates an altogether different response. Indicative of exclamation over actual content, "Attitude" returns to divest the individual witness of the interpretations born of his or her individual "ego", as what is immediately associative is subverted. This occurence, perhaps an indictment of the glorification of self and of grandeur, arrives with the same wry absurdist current by which Samuel Beckett came to write "Waiting for Godot". A parallel stab at individuality, existential reasoning- and non-reason- are cohesive in the works' employment. Assumptions, pretense, expectation and similar extenuations of the ego rebound with the silent laughter written within a cloud which recalls cartoon culture and comic strip captions which allow voiceless drawings to speak. In this light, "Attitude" acts as a composite statement: silent meaning, imbued references, hollowness of interpretation actually being meritorious in reflection of the execution of the work itself. It is iinferried that we reflect on the "noise" by which we normally adhere to in the infinite proclamations of our own existence, in daily life or within the tangible sphere of artistic creation.
