Szu-Yi Wang

artistic research - conceptual - language - urban - nature

Szu-Yi Wang (TW) develops her interdisciplinary practice as a research artist for projects from artistic narratives to drawing researches, from site-specific issues to intercultural discourses. With her design and architectural professions trained in both Taiwan and the Netherlands, she takes 'the interior' as a lens looking into intimate and flexible gestures toward spatial issues rather than limited by its scale. Her works are presented in a poetic sense with her unique sensibility. From drawing languages, cultural crafts to installations; they are her inquiries into more inclusive relationships between humans and nature, object and subject, urban landscape and the environment.
