Rae-Yen Song 宋瑞渊 is an artist flowing with the immigrant experience of flux and resilience, hungry to ever-evolve and build things. Guided by Daoist ways of worlding, Song considers family as a hybrid organism, radically entwined with all other living things – continuously swirling in multi- space and time. Song masticates their vibrating qi, and grows a big belly to hold all of this entangled ancestry… plop plop plop… warm excretions of other life stories to be sewn, watered and sung.
