Me

Hi, I’m Soyoung. I really don’t like artist statements, I think too many hours are spent on them that could otherwise be spent in more interesting ways. So instead, I’d like you to think about a few of the following phrases as you look at my work:

feminism

person of color

high tech / low tech

perspectives

intersections and interstices

collaboration / communion

personal history

commodification

grandmothers

storytelling / conversation

death

thanks, and feel free to reach out if you wanna chat. she@soyoungshin.com
