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. The presented work includes two blown glass orbs—one pressed against a rock collected in Hong Kong, the other - when activated by touch - swings like a pendulum above it. Teng created this piece in response to the fragility and resilience of longing and belonging through displacement and migration. In one simple gesture, the audience is invited to face their own internal tensions and challenge prevailing ontologies of the human condition through poetic interventions that disrupt the binaries that bind us.
