OUK LYHAK (CAMBODIA)

TITLE: Small Monk
MEDIUM: Oil colour
CONCEPT: This piece is a reminder and expression of how I feel when I am at the pagoda and studying there. I want to be a small monk and study the religion.
BIO: Ouk Lyhak was born in Bantesy Province in 1988. He studied visual art at Phare Ponleu Selepak.

CHHAN DINA (CAMBODIA)

TITLE: Village Land-mine Memory

MEDIUM: Mosiac pattern of broken crockery, acrylic paint and clear glaze

CONCEPT: I grew up in Poipet, which is near the Cambodia Thai border. As a child I remember seeing Land mine signs in the surrounding fields. They were everywhere and had a skull and cross bone symbol, which is appealing and inviting to a young girl with an adventureous spirit. My skate board represents the area I grew up.
BIO: Dina Chhan was born in 1984 and currently works and lives in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. She works in a range of media including painting and sculpture. Themes of life, music and everyday activities have captured the artist’s imagination over the past ten years. Her love of art gives her the energy and enthusiasm to teach visual art to children and teenagers in a number of orphanages and the International School Phnom Penh (ISPP). She has exhibited work in Cambodia, Columbia, France, Singapore and U.S.A. For a duration, Dina lived in a refugee camp in Poipet. Huge issues still exist with unexploded ordinance and land-mines in this region along the border between Thailand and Cambodia. Her experiences in Poipet influence her artwork to this day. She was the only female Cambodian artist to partake in the United Nations mine action program in Cambodia. Along with 9 other Cambodian artists she visited some of Cambodia’s most mine-affected provinces to observe how Cambodia is addressing the explosive remnants of war. She presented her interpretation of the issues through sophisticated sculpture.

TIM ROBERTSON (AMERICA)

TITLE: Windows and Doors

MEDIUM: Encaustic medium (beeswax and resin mixture), photography, oil color, mixed media

CONCEPT: My wife is a social worker. She once helped in the development of a residential area for people suffering from dementia, an effect of early Alzheimer’s disease. The patients were mostly in their 70s or older and the area was filled with objects, pictures and furniture that would have been familiar during their childhoods. Most of the patients, had trouble remembering recent parts of their life, where they lived, even spouses and other family members, but memories from their childhood were not only more clear, they often experienced them like they were the present.

I’m curious about the nature of memories made in childhood. What is their significance which causes human minds to cling to them even as other, more recent memories fade?

BIO: Tim Robertson is a photographer who grew up near Washington D.C. He began making photographs when he was 15 and a box arrived from his great uncle containing an Olympus OM-2 camera (still his favorite). Tim spent several years photographing and recording the stories of American communities as a photographer and journalist for several daily newspapers. Most of his current work focuses on capturing the life of Phnom Penh’s streets through the plastic lenses of toy film cameras and experimenting with alternative photographic processes and methods of presenting his images. He lives in Phnom Penh with his wife, Jessica and sons, Ian and Elliot.
