Yimou Huang’s practice-based PhD explores the divergent influences of Chinese Taoism and Western Eco-Feminist thought on contemporary global art. It centers on the material aspects of dynamic forces, such as gravity, wind, and erosion. Yimou is particularly interested in transformational processes and their relation to traditional Chinese views on matter (stone, clay, wood, etc.), the Taoist notion of emptiness and action-through- inaction, and Eco-Feminist approaches to process, duration, materiality and action.
