New artist-in residence: Zoey Yang

Zoey Yang is a London-based Canadian-Chinese artist. Primarily working with sculptures and drawings, her works are presented as either records of actions or objects to be performed with, a process of reimagining female lived experiences in alternative narratives. Her work navigates the tension of metaphorical division between the inside and the outside (of bodies, spaces, containments, and others), troubling the seemingly definitive duality of appearances and expectations. Current focus introspects the origins of guilt and its internal relation to external morality prescriptions, traversing between religious teachings and moral guidelines implemented in largely secular societies.

Yang is a current MFA candidate at Goldsmiths University and holds a BASc in Cognitive Science and Art History from McGill University.
