Huiyan Zhang's work is based on her passion for nature and her experience of walking in the forest, which makes her interested in the entanglements of nature, the biology of plant forms, and microscopic sights—especially fungi—and their relationship with human experience. This leads to her exploration of the concepts of loss and rebirth, decay and regrowth.
Huiyan Zhang graduated from Camberwell College of Arts with a BA in Illustration and is now continuing her studies at the same school in the MA Printmaking. A key reference for her is the writing of Merlin Sheldrake, who explores the significance of fungi and their connection to the human experience. Additionally, Wim van Egmond's macro photography series, where he presents microorganisms and other seemingly inconspicuous life forms through extreme close-ups, inspired her to think about the entanglement of nature and human life, as well as its rebirth and regeneration.
She goes into nature and uses photography, video, and drawing to bring out the various forms in nature, then integrates them into the printmaking process. She aims to explore and present the different forms of life in nature and the effects of the environment on them through a scientific lens. Accident and experimentation are indispensable in creating her work, and she appreciates the unpredictability these images bring to her artwork.
