Hiromi Tango creates spaces for expression, healing and transformation. She applies scientific understandings of the brain – including epigenetics and neuroplasticity – to her work, and frequently collaborates with experts in neuroscience.
Tango produces sculptural installations that invite audience engagement and often incorporate performance. Her process is cumulative; she weaves, wraps and stitches over everyday objects and materials before joining them together to construct her immersive environments. Through engaging all the senses, the artist redirects attention to our bodies and sharpens our emotional awareness. Her participatory workshops, performances and installations encourage us to reflect meaningfully upon ourselves and our social connections.
Born 1976, Japan. Lives and works Tweed Heads, New South Wales.
