Miranda Fengyuan Zhang (born in Shanghai in 1993, living in New York) is a young artist who has already succeeded in creating an aesthetic system, capable of giving life to works that offer the eye of the beholder a space to inhabit with serenity. The result of ancient gestures, her alphabet made of wool or cotton threads is the saving of a memory that belongs to each of us.
Miranda's work is inspired by her childhood memories, when her grandmother used to unravel old sweaters to reuse the yarn and make new clothes for the family. A circular process, like most women’s work: in the past or even today, in many parts of the world. An infinite repetition of gestures fundamental to everyone’s life, in a use of women’s time, consumed without being able to become history.
Miranda saves a cultural tradition and delivers it to the future, in new forms. Her materials are charged with ethical values: respect for memory, parental love and the inevitable intersection of individual and collective history.
