SHENNA YANG

It quite hard to admit myself as an artist, most of time I just push myself into that direction. To me art is a naked self-introspection process with child’s eye perspective.

 

My interdisciplinary practice spans painting, print, photography, video and sculpture, using my whimsical fantasy to explore human tendencies. My research orbits around the vulnerability of self-awareness in the chaos of existence and childhood fragment combined with autographical memories to tell audiences narrative stories.

 

Buried childhood events construct who I am and captivated me and drown me to explore my reality. This drown me into philosophy and psychology way. My practice emerges from the attachments of the ambiguous childhood fantasy and try to obtain the detachment from the reality which i call it the absurdity of modern routine. The idea of being a kid again still plagued me that why my works often connect with the qualities that we suppress as adults. I’m fascinated by using sly stories that require speculation through their neglect of emotions, and my work proves their existence in a naive and quirky way.  I hope that these static images can become a strange novel to elaborate these stories, and become my silent communication with the audience, to provoke similar evaded emotions or universal cultural truths.
