Fleeting, Flowing, Flying
This series was created in the first half of 2022 when I was preparing to move from Shanghai back to America after five years of being abroad. This experience helped to shape me as a person and artist. In this same spirit, this series is about two things - the way places form us and also the things that keep us grounded as we move through change. Some of these grounding activities for me include observing the natural world, focusing on everyday activities, and taking walks near bodies of water.
Coastal Shanghai, 上海, is Chinese for “On the Sea” and walking along its rivers, canal, and shores helped to shape my experience of it. I love the way water’s many material and geographic forms, powerfully represent movement and transition. And yet like the unpredictable and ever-changing nature of human experience, the course of flowing water is often uncertain and subject to change.with lines from poems I was reading over the summer.

“I have been following Stephanie's work since she was Artist-In-Residence at the Pfister Hotel. The extraordinary work from her residency caught my attention. The pieces felt like meditations on place, movement, and travel. It was like falling into a poem. I compare them to my experience of paddle boarding on Lake Superior's South Shore. Paddle boarding is a form of meditation for me and I feel like I'm on the board when I view her work. I appreciate how accessible her artwork is. I purchased seven pieces from this collection and sent one to each of my nieces and nephews.”
