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.15of 15
