Artist Statement/ Biography

From specific events to broad climate, seeing life experience as an approach and medium rather than a result. Jie Shao's work involves the transition of individual's body, memory, and language experience under different systems of culture and political power. To retrace the tangible feelings and materials that underlie the transitions, his practice embraces the past and present of various materials, encompassing both physical and handmade work, with sculpture and installation as foundational elements.
