stephanie mei huang

On a closer look at stephanie mei hunag’s recent work "green requiem for my self iii" from 2022, the viewer encounters undefinable feelings that leaves one speechless. Rightly so, since huang has chosen a strongly symbolic depiction of their avatar "Stirrup Steph", which is now in the final stage of its development. Reminiscences from a time of oppression can also be found in four different horse bits – a series from 2022 called “copper elegy i-iv”. They are made of stainless steel with copper alloy and are carefully decorated with bows and silk appliqués. These bits were part of the horse tack, used by the rider to control the horse's head. huang added to them pictorial representations of unicorns, free and winged horses, painted on emerald-green silk. These works represent the final stage of the avatar Stirrup Steph. The intermingling of fantastic beings, the redefinition of characters, and the chromatic change in huang's works point to the creation of a new avatar.
