ABOUT

YANXIAO LIU


Across my practice, a single thread runs: 

MATERIAL AS TIMEKEEPER

Each work begins from a synthetic substance, resin, acrylic, wire — and asks what that substance remembers of its own making. The drip, the fold, the frozen arc are evidence of process made permanent. Light enters every piece as a second skin, shifting with the viewer's movement and revealing depths invisible a moment before. 

Together, the works map a persistent question: what does it feel like to stand inside a change that is already happening?
