Hope Wang: Step 1: rid the pomelo skin of bitterness


Curated by Larry Lee

Wang’s multimedia exhibition highlights selections from her series on textiles, print, painting and poetry. Wang captures astute observations of architectural landscape surroundings with its relationship to people while incorporating the creative process into the work itself. Empty lots and industrial façades make their way into large handwoven and painted textiles contrasted with its related human experience represented through the repetitive nature of weaving. Her letterpress-printed series, Palimpsests, writing modified from the original printed form, is a direct reflection of the layered nature of her poetry from the meticulous reset of the metal type printed over multiple times to the slightly altered titles themselves. Her anthology of poetry about frustrated love, YELLOW KNEES, will also be on display, as well as work with found items and visceral reminders of her life from recent years.
