Huan Wang (b. 1994) is a textile artist from Guangdong, China, currently based in London. Her practice focuses on ephemeral textile installations in collaboration with natural environments, particularly rivers. Her work critically engages with site responsive narratives and the dynamic relationship between nature and human-engineered landscapes. Wang uses cotton jersey and unbleached calico, materials that are industrially produced, yet hold deep symbolic resonance in her practice, acting as traces of her interaction with the natural environment. Her textile installations incorporate natural elements such as river water, mud, and fallen leaves, which she collects and returns, creating ephemeral traces in the landscape. Wang's practice is rooted in her personal experiences and the landscapes she inhabits. Through her installations, Wang challenges the permanence of human-engineered structures, such as dams, river locks, and dock stairs. She renames these structures with fragile fabrics, recontextualizing them as dynamic, movable boundaries that ebb and flow with nature. Through her textiles, Wang revives the essence of these ancient names, stitching together fragmented landscapes and forgotten memories to reflect on our status shifting with time and space.
‘ WE ’ are but fragile and transient materials.
