An exploration of the graphic novel, the female body and traumatic memory

An, Siyi (author.). Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. (Added Author).

Summary: This paper discusses my research and artistic practice during the MFA program. My research is focused on how semi-autobiographical narratives in the form of graphic novels facilitate self-exploration and trauma representation. Through my art projects Tentacles and A Bouquet for You, I explore and reconnect with my female body and my Chinese culture. Together with graphic and narrative experiments conducted in comic form, I reexamine the relationship between myself as the author, my body, and my memories.
