Emily Hwang is a student at the School of Visual Arts majoring in fine arts. Emily’s work is a documentation of her personal experiences through a new narrative. Her art is a contemporary approach to the concept of making unrelated things related.

With the accumulated interest of collages and abstract compositions, Emily plays with the transparency from using mostly translucent materials and reflective surfaces, especially plexiglass. The clearness of the subject matter becomes undefined through the processes of her artmaking.

Her work consists of embedding and rendering personal photographs of both representational and nonrepresentational forms. Traditional materials are used to amplify the painterly aspects of her work. She also incorporates printmaking or digital software in most of her work to redefine used imagery. The printed images and materials generates the collision of separate dimensions and spaces.
