Dou Wei: Diaphanous

Her artworks seamlessly integrate a plethora of man-made objects based on organic materials, including but not limited to wood carvings, jade, stone, brass, taxidermy, religious figurines, and relics. These objects are stretched, distorted, or magnified in part or as a whole, resulting in entirely new, blurred boundaries within the realm of artificial imagery. Through personal understanding of manmade objects and nature, she explores and expresses emotions and imagination. Born in China and graduated from the Experimental Art Department of the China Central Academy of Fine Arts(CAFA) in 2021, earning MFA. Currently residing and working in K’jipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
