Two waters started at the Chinese-European Art Center in Xiamen, traveled to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and then Art Space Pool in Seoul. Nominated for a Smithsonian Institute Artist Research Fellowship and the Sindoh Artist Support Program in Seoul, I conceived the project as a place for reflecting on the changed historical landscape, created mainly from industrial rubble collected in the cities.
Living and working in Beijing neighborhoods, I’ve experienced urgent issues related to the gaining and loss of space. Daily observations inform my perspective, and I'm inspired by the power of creating place through small acts of garden making. I take a wide view on what a garden can be, which often includes non-plant materials and constructions. I watch for the intention that may express a person’s relationship with the landscape. Though some may consider gardens ephemeral, I believe these acts continually exist. They are human sentiments that will always be found, despite development, demolition and change in the environment.
My work has been a TIME OUT NEW YORK Critic's Pick, and written about in The New York Times, Artnet Magazine, Boston Globe, Harper’s Bazaar Seoul, World Journal, and Trendebeheer, among others.
I currently run the Expanded Sculpture program at Kenyon College. Previous posts include Directing the Masters Preparation program in Beijing, a collaboration with Chelsea College of Art, University of the Arts London, created in 2011.
