Jane Wu – BA/BFA

​​Born 2001, Shanghai.​

Child's play is intuitive, which negates the hierarchy of materials, de-contextualising objects from their environments. Through sculptural assemblage and installation, including the idea of a painting as an object, the flat shape of a body is captured through casting. Having these concrete shadows in meditation and yoga movements, they act as tentative and discrete dwellings that ground the spirit. The works are playful and sweet yet devoid of meaning, lacking belonging but trying to be autonomous in a fake reality. There is a subversive undertone to being happy and cute as it is a glamorous surface of short-lived feelings, vaguely whispering the darkness and the unknown, an ephemeral label that is unstable like the human emotion.​
