"What a time to be gay and alive."
"Where do I fall on the Kinsey scale? Somewhere between Whitney Houston's best friend's memoir and Lucy Liu's art.- LeeSean 立翔 (@leesean) November 7, 2019"
"When I see something on the ground, I always feel badly for those items because they feel like they once had a purpose, once had a home, and they were no longer being utilised, they were disregarded. Something about that resonates with me."
"When that happens, it's such an inspiration, and it's such a significant moment. It spurs you to be somebody different or more than you are already. [It] spurs you to do something different."
Lucy Liu began making art as a teenager and held her first show in 1993 under her Chinese name Yu Ling. Early work included a photography series documenting a pro-choice march in Washington, DC. Liu expanded beyond photography into sculpture, collages, embroidery, silkscreen, found-object assemblage, and large paintings of women kissing and making love. Much of the work reflects first-generation immigrant concerns about belonging and rescuing discarded items that once had purpose. Liu collected found objects in a childhood shadowbox and still carries a Ziploc bag for discoveries. Social media responses ranged from playful admiration to requests for lesbian-themed pieces. Liu hopes her work changes and inspires viewers to become different or to do something different.
