Tiffany Chung
Tiffany Chung’s interdisciplinary practice enquires into a complex framework of social, political, economic, and environmental processes, at times entwined in landscape archaeology and historical ecology. Chung analyzes and materializes researched findings into hand-drawn and embroidered cartographic works and mixed media installations consisting of drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, and videos. Chung’s work strives to create interventions into the narrative produced through statecraft or is dominant in the public sphere with people’s memories and lived experiences.
