Dan Lam explores her otherworldly sensibility, creating sculptures that push the boundaries of color and form alike. A sense of playfulness persists, underpinning the work with a thoroughly approachable vibe. As foreign these objects may seem, they nevertheless blend in brilliantly with a range of familiar surroundings, while simultaneously breathing new life into any given space.
Lam straddles the line between numerous dichotomies, since that's where she most often uncovers new modes of expression. Indeed, by navigating the realm between attraction and repulsion, organic and inanimate, seriousness and playfulness, soft and hard, Lam conjures up her idiosyncratic vision, one exotic sculpture at a time. As a result, the work strikes a deft balance between seemingly disparate concepts, subsequently inspiring a range of emotions and ideas from the viewer. And while a sense of experimentation is palpable, the work isn't so abstract as to disengage. If anything, it does the opposite, inspiring an endless sense of participation and imagination, aiming straight for the limbic system and hitting its target with a bullseye.
