Beijing-born artist Cici Wu is a cultural nomad whose work takes on unusual forms, from functional sculptures to haphazard installations featuring delicate jerry-rigged parts, including for example: a stepper motor, belt, pulley, light sensor, sleeves, silicone, silver chain, dried strawberry leaves, and a video. Another installation might be made up of ceramic, clay, handmade glass, silicone, plaster, white fabric, rice paper, ink, a plastic drop cloth, and a sponge mop. Interested in both the materiality of the tools used for observing and interpreting the world, as well as the affective interactions that shape these observations, Wu’s oneiric installations probe questions of memory, identity, ritual and emotion.
