About

Yuming He

As a Chinese person who has been in Canada without the company of her family since the age of fifteen, Yuming He is interested in differences. Variation within cultures, confusions and privileges caused by languages, how experience affects choice and understandings, and the double-sidedness of relation. She grounds her practice in installation, photography, artist multiples and publications. Manufacturing heavily influences these works; from industrial process to digital user-driven making to more traditional analogue applications. Recently, He has started working with weaving to critique other manufacturing processes. Inherently double-sided, the care and time required by this medium act as a metaphor for her concerns around difference and relation; requiring one to look closely, activating both since and sensitivity.
