Jan-Ru Wan - Mixed Media Artist

On View: August 19- September 24, 2009

Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Jan-Ru Wan is a mixed media artist who utilizes sculptureal form, space, and site-specific formats to communicate about the human experience, the body, and the blending of Eastern and Western Cultures.

Her forms are conceptually strong and she is sensitive to the mixing of materials to maximize their ability to evoke emotion and response. Her work focuses on the reflective processes of dyeing, weaving, printing, sewing, arranging fibers, staining, and discoloration of fabrics.

Ru-Wan is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at NC State University.
