Artist Statement

Min Angel’s multidisciplinary practice is concerned with touch and a love of materials.  Carlo Levi’s titular phrase ’The future has an ancient heart’ is an important lodestar for her as she works across figuration and abstraction. Through ambiguous relationships between form and no form she considers the warp and weft of life, questioning where one thing stops and another begins and the nature of exchange between material objects and the physical, visual encounter. Her practice is informed by the experiential, by intuition and imagination and her study of the ancient arts of Zen mediation and Qigong.
