Materiality underpins Alexandra Yan Wong’s work, which arises from her interest in understanding the psychology of perception and aesthetics in the modern world. Formally a linguist with a background in German literature and philosophy, she swaps words for paint, stain, paper, fabric, wood amongst other materials. Their spatial arrangement, concealment and destruction highlight their tactility and the work’s narrative form. The cross-cultural influences in Wong’s works can be seen in her use of colours and brushstrokes reminiscent of calligraphy. The combination of expressive marks and considered repetition attests to the tension inherent in perception, reflecting a similar tension which maintains the balance in the symbiosis between our being and the wider world.
