Mingyi He

About
I chose the gallery project because I believed it would provide a nice platform for me to go further into my feelings and reading. To identify the main motivators inside me. To break out from silos and learn to interact and engage with the spectator.
Statement

Mingyi He uses printing to investigate pertinent contemporary issues of the domestic, gender and society, as well as the cultural preconceptions surrounding printing as a craft. Her work aims to disrupt the notion of the medium as passive and benign. Her pieces often incorporate both metaphors and sarcasm. The finished pieces evolve from the process as opposed to being designed and made. They explore themes of hopeless, sorrow, loss, and defiance.
The Gentle Grit



A rejection of grand narratives and a focus on the cries and trivialities of the near.
