About Pei-Hsuan Wang
In Wang's practice, everything is interwoven and meaningful. It is rooted in ways of engaging with her identity. Much of this centres on her and her family's diasporic migration from Taiwan to the US. As well as drawing inspiration from ancient Chinese and East Asian myths and folklore, Wang's practice explores her relationship with the women in her life, particularly her matrilineal heritage. Her drawings illustrate figures surrounded by mystical objects and creatures in sumptuous settings, while her animal sculptures are representative of her analysis of folklore, morphology, shape-shifting, symbolism and metaphor - each with its own specific references and histories.
