"Female artists use their own environment as art seem very ideal to me as well. Personally, the use of everyday life is more meaningful in seeing the very purpose of my own life as well. It serves as a platform for self-reflection as well as the opportunity to defamiliarise the boring everyday life and turns them into purposeful self realisation. Martha Rosler's semiotics of the kitchen (1975), Rosler "shows and tells" the ingredients of the housewife's day, from A to Z, proceeds to demonstrate, but with gestures that depart from the normal uses of the tool. Rosler's slashing gesture as she forms the letters of the alphabet in the air with a knife and fork, is a rebel gesture, revealing the suburban kitchen to be a war zone where routine food preparation masks the violent frustrations felt by women at being confined by the home. In an ironic grammatology of sound and gesture, the woman and her implements enter and transgress the familiar system of everyday kitchen meanings. Kitchen is also one of my favourite themes for exploration about female beings, not myself, but about my mother being a housewife. Through the frustrations seen portraying in the real life kitchen, housewife is the number one occupation I would love to avoid as well. ^^;; The trap-routine-waiting-boring-suicidal feeling within the kitchen is definitely unbearable for me. The sense of identity seems to flow away into the sink, into the drain after a long time spent in the kitchen. I did an installation piece last semester. (^^;;) (http://oot.dreamhosters.com/mother.html)-temporany domain. I focus more on the water flow within the kitchen as a semiotics instead of the utensils. I remembered I was quite confused with my purpose of this artwork as well. Couldn't explain why I did so. But after this presentation, I began to realise the theme I was trying to explore."
