Fragrant Little Haven
Visual Arts
Description
Description
Fragrant Little Haven is drawn from Geoffrey Robley Sayer’s historical account of the city in the mid-19th century (the setting up of the British Colonial empire). What is he, a colonial representative, running from? Does he disagree with the violence, or is home a threat? If one reads Sayer’s biography one senses that he struggled with the demands of the colonial government – questioned for his policies, taking considerable periods of time off, returning to Hong Kong, only to encounter criticism again. If the Fragrant Harbour, with its mysterious islands and dense forests was a place of protection then why alter the Haven and its fragrance, only to mirror the very place he is running from?
