I work with images, text, paper, and yarn. I weave large scale textiles that are dye-painted and often results of meticulous translations of my digital photography. I write poetry and it sometimes takes the form of prints, books, diagrams, or petrified fruit. 

I take photographs as an instantaneous way to capture things that interest me. Other times, I start with monotonous and repetitive activity to get the brain and body warm. Tying knots, threading the loom, mixing colors, trimming paper.

My practice explores memory, loss, and longing in the ever-shifting architectural landscape. Traversing the city through digital photographs, I accumulate images of spaces caught in a moment of transition. I then render these fleeting moments through the slow practice of handweaving, poetry-writing, and printmaking. Through repetition, I attempt to materialize what often feels out of reach: the last seconds of the sun setting against the factory wall, the smell of asphalt baking in the summer heat, or the wavering space between an open storefront and a shuttered one. 

Much of Wang’s work draws on the remnants of human activity and the objects that shape human movement, even in the absence of a body. She draws from imagery surrounding provisional spaces – whether from business turnover, property displacement, urban development, or general construction. Her weavings of window glass reflections are dream-like, whether a water stain or the ghostly shadow of homes float to the surface, they waver on the verge of disappearing or materializing. In the quiet melancholy of commuting between manual labour jobs and constant travel, she also approaches burn marks in the asphalt like human memory, accessed over and over again to reassert its function. Through playful prints and sculptures, Wang also captures the urban calligraphy left from midnight racing and remnants of traffic control objects scattered through the streets. Traversing the city both digitally and physically, she accumulates renderings of the endless scarification that transform the landscape.
