Christine Tam’s art evokes the academic daze that emerges from long stretches in the library, gazing at lit-up computer screens and flipping through readings flocked with post-it notes. Christine captures this sentiment in Screen Dreams (above) and Page 127 (below):
“These 2 pieces were created during the writing of my thesis when I entered a 2-month hibernation period to encapsulate 2 years of research into ~150 pages. As I spent more and more time focused on this one single project, the amassing pages slowly became an indistinguishable mishmash of run-on sentences, neon post-it notes, and perpetually blinking cursors. Fortunately, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel… Or maybe it was just the blinding glow of my computer screen?” - Christine Tam
