Zimu Fang creates prints that explore psychological landscapes—spaces suspended between abstraction and representation. Defined by delicate mark-making and atmospheric layering, her works invite viewers to linger, interpret, and wander inward. While reminiscent of physical landscapes, they function as introspective portraits, reflecting on solitude, memory, and emotional presence. Fang’s compositions are uninhabited and geographically unplaceable by design. This ambiguity generates a sense of “lostness,” which she reclaims as a generative space—a state where meaning arises through the act of searching. Her imagery prompts intuitive associations, encouraging viewers to engage with their own sense-making. Central to her practice is a commitment to labor, repetition, and time. Each image is crafted through a layered process of carving, inking, and printing, transforming ephemeral impressions into enduring forms.
