ProjectRoom
is a small exhibition space created in April 2008 by Craig Roper to
promote emerging and mid-career contemporary artists in Lincoln, Nebraska.
30
year-old sculptor Ying Zhu moved to the United States 10 years ago from
China. In that time she has earned a Bachelor's degree in Management
Information Systems from the University of Nebraska-Omaha and is
currently an M.F.A. candidate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Repetitive, fragile and
laborious, Ying follows her meticulous process to create objects and
situations that reflect her examination of what it is to be bi-national
in the complex environment of American art and culture while giving the
viewer a unique look into her personal transformation and assimilation.
