Diane Wang
Diane Wang is a San Francisco Bay Area native and Taiwanese-American artist and designer who investigates human perception of nature’s stories. She is interested in the fundamental connection that humans have with the natural world and how this permeates through our memories and understanding of what’s around us.
Her paper sculptures are ethereal, yet raw. The hand-torn shapes, textures, and dimensionality in her work result from her reconstruction of nature’s processes, both ephemeral and eternal. These, contrasted with dream-like forms and light, invite calming recollections that foster contemplation of connection and our place with nature.
Wang studied ink-wash painting throughout her childhood and received her B.A. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, with a focus in Human-Computer Interaction. Post-graduation, she designed award-winning technology interfaces at Google and Nest. She continued her studies in the visual arts and abstraction at the California College of the Arts. Her cross-cultural background and exposure to a variety of creative practices influences her distinctive approach, techniques, and processes.
