About this episode

Los Angeles-based artist Su Yu-Xin considers painting as a place where multiple disciplines and various perceptual capacities intersect. Su Yu-Xin collects, studies, and processes the color substances scattered on the earth's crust. From there, she invents a new order on the painting surface through drawing, compression, and accumulation. For her, such landscape painting is a geological practice of rearranging plants, minerals, organic and synthetic matter.
