Nebbia del Tempo features a selection of Huang’s abstract sketchbook drawings, paintings, silk prints and wallpaper. In her drawings, Huang records impressions of atmospheres and hints of moods, yielding a distinctive vocabulary of airy, colorful washes and nimble, aporetic line. These sketches feed other works: For her paintings, Huang isolates and extracts fragments from the preliminary drawings, then reproduces these individual elements in compositions that she repeatedly revises over extended periods of time, dispassionately whiting out and building up dense, interlocking layers of intertwining gesture and line that are at once self-referential and a wholly unique manifestation of the original sketches.
