Cathy Hsiao: M ㄅ V ㄍ M ㄍ ㄇ ㄒ III: BAD BUDDHA, 嫦娥

@ McLean County Arts Center

601 N East St, Bloomington, IL 61701

Opening Friday, April 26th, from 5PM - 7PM

On view through Friday, May 24th

Through rhythm and ritual Cathy Hsiao weaves together narratives that are personally intimate and art historically evocative. These narratives are mostly accurate, somewhat fictitious, always woven together in a syncopation of languages. Her practice is deeply rooted in a hybrid inquiry between material making and conceptual thinking. Hsiao constructs parallels between her affective mental landscape and the larger natural and built environments. Much of her techniques re-use distinct craft practices from Asian textiles such as weaving and natural dyeing iterated into a vocabulary influenced by the history of Western abstraction.
