Jia Wang

Jia Wang is a multidisciplinary artist whose work addresses both personal and cultural perspectives, through site-specific installations comprised of video, collage, and, often, very personal objects and photographic images. Jia received her Masters in Imaging Arts, Photography, and Related Media from Rochester Institute of Technology and holds a BA in Photography from Beijing Film Academy.

“I want to make work that allows the unspoken and invisible to take form in the visible world. I’m focusing on what makes visual language unique, arguing that the affective quality of art contributes to a new understanding of the experience of trauma and loss.”
