Artist Statement/ Biography

Shuai Yang works across painting, printmaking, drawing, installation, and performance to investigate humans' bodily and spiritual relationship to the universe. Yang uses her own body as the center and her cognitive and sensorial space as the radius for inspiration, often employing images of her body, grids, geometries, astronomical diagrams, and various malleable materials. Her process echoes the ideas of layering, repetition, and multiplicity, which are influenced by her background in printmaking studies. In summary, Yang’s pursuit of understanding the body through its relation to the cosmic realm and her multi-media experiments often open up possibilities for installations.
