Sougwen Chung

摘要

Sougwen chung's work isn't easily definable, and she's not one to place clear-cut labels, such as designer, artist or illustrator, on herself, either. "Don't we live in a cultural moment in which those categorical considerations matter less and less?" she says. "I like that creativity is becoming more amorphous, more adaptable, more interdisciplinary." One of her favorite works is an installation called "Chiaroscuro" that she showed at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Geneva last May. It was an illuminated sculptural drawing that filled the space of the museum, and Chung paired it with music from Brooklyn-based composer Praveen Sharma, along with nested and projected light. "The installation utilized layers of light and shadow to showcase the expressive capacity for organic abstraction to entrance and captivate an audience," she says. "It communicated genuine moments of surprise and wonder."
