Xin Meng
Artist Statement
Actually I am not willing to express any of my sculpture works by any limited human languages. My current work is focused on the surveys and thoughts of internal contradictions and conflicts existing within the commonalty of mankind today. Prior to 2004 my works reflected upon peaceful and philosophical thought in the Eastern world. However, since immigrating to Canada, I hope to continue my current body of work by exploring various sculpture techniques further while incorporating my Eastern viewpoint.
