About
Margaret Liang (Davaa, b.1998) is an artist/photographer based in London.
Margaret works in the medium of photography, with the occasional involvement of moving images, sculpture and book-making. She uses the photographic medium to visualize ephemerality, love and dissonance in the psychological and physiological realms, from a feminine discourse. She derives her artistic voice from an auto-biographical lens, her striving to locate her place and identity within the world. Her subject matters revolve around but are not limited to: power dynamics within the domestic, intimacy and detachment, materialism as a reductionist approach to an existential angst.
