A steel clothing rack on casters adorned with jute twine, nylon cord, knitting yarn, lampshade frames, copper plated bells, metal rings, screw eyes. These heterogeneous elements are used here to create an exotic yet undefined identity within the work.
Knotty Spell in Chunky Forest appears as a shamanic objector being. It is mobile and can be activated. Yang’s work is strewn with performative elements: “it rolls or can be pushed, it folds up, it hangs, floats, dangles, or swings, it rustles, makes sound, or smells.”
In this work, nothing is static; everything suggests movement and an unfurling, momentous display of contradiction and transformation.
