Overview
Flowers Gallery is delighted to present Love Letters, a new body of work by Movana Chen. Representative of her practice, Chen has meticulously archived the written communications from her loved ones spanning over three decades. Delving into a deeply personal aspect of communication, Chen aims to reflect the female labour, personal and shared memories by way of materials transformation and decontextualization.
Love Letters is a collection of over 180 hand-written letters sent to the artist between 1989 - 2023 from friends, family and loved ones. The letters are shredded, deconstructed and knitted into visceral sculptural forms, locking old memories away in a suspended moment while threading them into a renewed manifestation of love.
