Unreachable Destination
Spaces in this world:
Statement:
In Unreachable Destination, installation and mixed-media artist Yuehao Jiang presents her first solo show for virtual space.
Jiang has spent much of the past few years investigating the possibility of creating digital landscape paintings through analog means. In adapting her wax pastel works to a world-building project, Jiang's work evokes a landscape where the figure-ground relationship is redefined, and the figure becomes part of the landscape.
Optical illusion and space exist in all of these new drawings, where a hand evokes a face, or a cholla wood growing out from a human hand. Holding on or letting go? Falling or hanging? It's all a matter of perspective.
