Zoila Andrea Coc-Chang (鄭慧蘭): never settling into the stability of objects
In never settling into the stability of objects, 2022–2023 Fellow Zoila Andrea Coc-Chang (鄭慧蘭) presents a new body of work consisting of sculptural weavings and paintings that foreground the resilience and bonds of her Chinese-Guatemalan diasporic kinship networks. Looping metals, entangled natural and synthetic fibers, and strung black beans gesture toward the intimacies and movements of her ancestors, seeding connections that honor their various migrations and everyday environments.
