Minjing Yang
Overview
“I want to express my inner world - time, relationships, and the ebb and flow of memories.” - Minjing Yang
Minjing Yang’s work revolves around transformation. Her sculptures, drawings and texts are influenced by the relationships between the women in her family, alongside traumatic memories and the desire for self-healing. She transmutes the ephemeral - feelings, imaginings, and relationships - into hard, heavy sculptures. Each of her stoneware ceramic sculptures act as containers for memories that cannot be expressed in words, their compositions made up of abstract, almost figurative shapes that reflect the ebb and flow of her inner world.
These free-flowing works resist solid representation - they may resemble something anthropomorphic, purposefully avoiding any one recognisable form. As a meditative practice, the works are instead marked by their process, a melting pot of soft shapes calcified in ceramic.
