”Desiring Uncertainty”
Jee Hwang
Porter Contemporary, 548 W28th St., NYC
Jee Hwang’s works are inspired by her vision of the body as a container related to desire, and its relationship to the state of presence and absence. Bottomless desire is continuously coming out or held together by various containers. Jee’s work spans from large scale oil paintings to small intimate watercolors and works on paper.
“Given that we are not so different than a child, life becomes a bottomless hole, abyss or a void. Along with perpetuity of the desire, desires are temperamental, capricious and comparative by each person in each situation. Sometimes we don’t know what we actually want, but we feel something is missing. Like so, desire is uncertain and abstract as well as unstable.” - Jee Hwang
