Stephanie Teng

Stephanie Teng (b.1989, Hong Kong) recently received her Master of Arts in Contemporary Art Practice from Royal College of Art. Teng's multidisciplinary practice explores the liminal through the subliminal, examining the tension and synchronicities between states of being. Her work explores themes of belonging and erasure; presence and absence; grief and transformation through Plato’s notion of “Metaxy”—the generative space of the “in-between” that highlights the paradoxical nature of human existence. Informed by her background in psychology, her work also looks at how perception is shaped by systems of control; how patterns become rituals; and how new narratives of ecology and home can be written through the lens of decolonisation.
