Visiting Artist: Meeson Pae Yang

We are so excited to welcome Meeson Pae Yang, a Los Angeles based artist to lecture about her work coming up on Tuesday, April 24th, at 7:30pm in Rood 51. 

Meeson Pae Yang’s work explores the convergence of science, technology and mythology into a thickly layered stratum of images and objects reflecting systems within nature.  Intersections and parallels in systems become unfolding metaphors and imagery to dissect and explore. Much of the work begins by extracting simple elements and then expanding, repeating, and extending these components into transmuted conglomerations.

The process of the work involves a methodical collecting of artifacts, images, and sounds to synthesize and compress into expansive visual fields. Working in a variety of media from painting, video, sculpture and installation, each medium is a tool to process natural phenomena from the microscopic to the macroscopic. ____________________________
