Fish Tales I, Arlan Huang
About the Work
From the Artist
My art has always been centered around relationships and how memory and context shape those relationships. Although my art, at first glance, seems innocent and slightly offhanded, upon closer study it reveals a sublime message of form and content. It belies the idea of a two-dimensional view of traditional Asian American assimilation and challenges the notion of art by an artist of color, as well as being marginal.
—From Brandywine Workshop and Archives records
My ideas come from everything I know and don't know. All my work is centered by what Allen Ginsberg called "the dearness of the vanishing moment."
