Yeu-Lai Mo

 In my practice I draw on personal memory and experiences, using the language and paraphernalia of the catering industry,  I explore ideas of critical alternatives for the perception of the British Chinese. Through my practice I interrogate issues of racism, prejudice, patriarchal stereotypes of East Asian women in my practice. Much of my work draws from an autobiographical experience and memories growing up in a Chinese takeaway, witnessing it first hand, I try to give a voice to a female perspective from the Chinese Diaspora as a British born artist of Chinese heritage and identifying as BESEA. 

I am currently interested in questioning, re-imagining, re- representing, re-creating memories of a space, an environment as a lived experience, playing with ideas, altering and re-presenting them to an audience.
