The complex and vivid aesthetic of her works in various media, including sculpture and video, could be considered as deliberations on these conditions, where instant knowledge about the world can provide a myriad of inspirations and influences. Looking to represent the artist\u0026rsquo;s own liminal space as being locally rooted and globally connected, Guan\u0026rsquo;s highly experimental work functions as an abstraction, formed by synthesising numerous references from across time and geographies.

De complexe en levendige esthetiek van haar werken in verschillende media, waaronder beeldhouwwerk en video, kan worden beschouwd als een reflectie op deze omstandigheden, waarbij de onmiddellijke kennis van de wereld een veelheid aan inspiraties en invloeden kan bieden. Het zeer experimentele werk van Xiao, dat de eigen drempelruimte van de kunstenaar als zijnde lokaal geworteld en mondiaal verbonden zoekt weer te geven, fungeert als een abstractie, gevormd door de synthese van een groot aantal referenties die zowel de tijd als verschillende geografische gebieden doorkruisen.
