Jeong-Ah Zhang
ARTIST STATEMENT
"Does this exist or does it not?
A strange - like being whose existence defined its own nonexistence.
This is and is not at the same time, and partakes both of existence and of nonexistence.
The existence of a thing.. and interacts with the thing-don't-know.
The work takes on an existence of its own."
"My life is itself who I experience and it is evidence of my life.
The oriental Buddhist philosophy that all things works mysteriously without a true substance is the basis of my work, but I am an atheist. My life and art is based on my own philosophical thoughts and experiences. I am interested in the philosophy of immanence and transcendence on all beings, and my works use symbols, metaphors and imagery in the metaphysical world to express phenomena such as the nature of life, or the principle of the universe.
The universe repeats the cycle of creation and extinction. And I think that the universe is the consciousness, unconsciousness, the borderland of consciousness, the five senses, awareness and transubconscious state of mind. Therefore, I try to listen to all the conceptions of all things, have an open mind and remember what resonates, and I do work like that.. It's a soul resonance, beyond the time frame. Basically, this means that I try to focus on the essence of life by establishing core values, and at the same time, I am trying to sublimate it into my works. Philosophical considerations on a visible world and an invisible world."
