Most Important:
Recently, Yang began investigating her family’s background and her cultural identity as a first generation Asian-American through her artwork. She said, “The versatility of the different printmaking mediums lend themselves well to portraying the dichotomy of the two cultures within which I live. Family photographs are treated with a delicate touch whereas English text & letterforms receive a bold treatment, often using bright, eye catching colors.”
