ZHEN FENG ANG

Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.

“My practice is intrinsically tied to craft, introduced

through paper cutting and sewing. The medium or

method I work with is produced through labor intensity.

The intensive processes undergone within my work

are always present in the outcome of the piece, by displaying

the scraps alongside or transforming them

into a part of the work.

In the information age, people receive and absorb

huge amounts of information quickly, which leads to

a habit of lack of digestion of information. My practice,

therefore, has an element of confusion or obscuration

which challenge the audience to slow down and have

a good look at the things in front of them. Strategies I

use to enable this ‘slowing down is by playing with ambiguity,

the ‘impossible to tell’. Besides, my work often

requires close and slow observation, and painting over

my artwork or covering it up with scraps doubles the

time needed for the viewer to observe”.

Artwork: ‘Buddies‘, 2022, mixed media installation.
