Artist Statement
My artistic practice is engaged in "time" and "feminist narrative".
Time, or duration, as an expanded, non-linear gesture, is my chosen perception of the happening. To visualize that, I use the looping of sound and multiple video pieces combined with diverse technologies and materials to build interactive installations.
My artistic practise is closely intertwined with my life. I cannot help but narrate the insights and inner experiences of diasporic Chinese women, as well as engage in cultural reflection. I find myself unable to avoid empathizing equally with all forms of life and non-life. This sensitivity and care are through my work.
My two ongoing projects are Intercultural Conversation and transdisciplinary cooperation on the topic of climate change.
