John Clang’s photographs are poetic self-reflection of the mundane and the commonplace. His deeply sensitive works express personal travelogues of longing, memory and identity as a son who is separated and living overseas from his family and home country of Singapore in New York. Clang’s photos depict urban environments with a sense of estrangement and intimacy. There is a morning in his works that I can relate to being from a different country but in an overall sense, I admire his work ethic and particular attention to structure. His minimalist style offers a visual ambiance that evokes both a conscious and unconscious baring of one’s soul.
On that note, I also thought to share a very precious excerpt by Martha Graham that one of my beloved professors sent me the other day:
There is a vitality, a life force,
An energy, a quickening that is translated through you…
into action.
And because there is only one you in all of time,
this expression is unique.
And if you block it,
it will never exist through any other medium…
The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is,
nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expression.
It’s your business to keep it yours,
Clearly and directly…
To keep the channel open.
