Visceral Cocoon, 2015 Blue Costume Fabric, Metal, beads Dimension varies The Mystical Fashioner is a performance installation based on Chan’s personal experience across Eastern and Western cultures that is translated into hybrid wearable art forms presented in a live format. Chan explored wearable art as charged objects in relation to the body and their environment to empower for herself in the journey of unknown. This series of wearable sculptures activated by bodily movements and choreographed in a conceptual manner: engages Chan’s feelings around her life circumstances from living in a Western culture and transforms these moments of difficulty into opportunities to love herself as she pursues happiness. Presented in a playful format, the performance uses sculptural strategies to conjure ideas of courage and empowerment. This project was assisted through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts.
